What was the most interesting question?

What was the most difficult question?

"The one about disease outbreaks. I had several answers, luckily, but wasn't really expecting it, and they seemed to be looking for a specific answer that I didn't give. Though they did seem a little surprised by my wildlife answers (since I'm small animal focus). The vaccination question, since I blanked on vaccination laws, heh."

What impressed you negatively?

"The hospital was nearly empty in the middle of the day during the week. There didn't seem to be a lot going on, and everyone seemed to have plenty of time to come talk to us about things (which was nice, but I was curious as to why they weren't busier). I had to walk all the way across the building to the place where we interviewed from where we waited, which was kind of awkward." Report Response

"That they are allowed to ask you "illegal" questions." Report Response
