What are your general comments?

"The interview was a bit offputting because I was interviewed in the interviewer's apartment. But, once I got to his room the atmosphere was comforting and I felt at ease. The interviewer told me ahead of time that he does not look at the interviewee's file ahead of time, nor does he ask prescribed questions. Essentially he told me to talk and he interjected with questions sporadically." Report Response
