What are your general comments?

My interview went really well. It was my first interview so I was really nervous going into it. My first interviewer was the sweetest lady in the world and just basically talked to me about things, rather than grill me with questions. She asked me some ethical questions, but more just worked them into the conversation rather than giving me the third degree. My second interviewer had a little more of a rigid structure with the questions she asked me, but she was still very sweet and made me feel comfortable.
