"We started in a little room with about 15 other interviewees. The day wasn't scheduled to constantly be doing something. I waited with others until my interview time. It gave me lots of time to discuss interivewing experiences and the elections. There was internet access in the room if you wanted to check your email. The interviews are nice conversations. They ask many standard questions plus press you on your application. " Report Response
