💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

I pretty much got every question that was already posted on this site! I was definitely prepared... I got the one about who would you save if you had to choose btwn the mother, daughter, and father...my interviewer did put a lil twist on it though and said that you were actually able to save the mom and the daughter...what would you tell the wife if she asks if you'd not saved her would he still be here.

What was the most interesting question?

*If you took the time to use these interview feedbacks to help you prepare, take the time to fill one out for the next person. Don't be selfish.* Nothing too out of the way...What's something you had to overcome in your life?

What was the most difficult question?

Nothing too hard...What's the worst thing you've done to someone. I'm sooo not trying to sound perfect, but seriously, I'm not a mean person so I struggled to come up with something I did bad.
