Finding the position was simply via Aggie Job Link; simply had to apply for the position and provide my resume. While Aggie Job Link has its flaws (feel like applications never work), it allows for easy job searching for student positions. There were no additional interviews needed after the scheduled in-person interview, and I was notified of my offer within 1-2 business days.

This was mostly done through just an evaluation of prior experience, specifically the student's performance in a class required by the major (Senior Design). Past performance on graded projects were evaluated, most likely. Other factors that probably played a role were dedication to the project at hand, past interactions with the employer during group meetings concerning the project, and the overall turnout of the final deliverable.
