💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What personal improvement are you most proud of?
How did you prepare for the interview?
I prepared answers to the questions listed here which fully prepared me for the interview.
What was the most difficult question?
Every other question I was asked was previously listed here or was a follow-up to something I said in my answer so there were no "difficult" questions.
What impressed you positively?
The interviewers were friendly and took turns asking questions so you didn't have that awkwardness of having people sitting in the room taking notes that you weren't interacting with at all.
What impressed you negatively?
I was disappointed that they asked a couple of questions that I had already addressed in previous answers and wanted me to further expand or think of yet another example. I wish that had asked a wider variety of questions.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That all of the time spent there would be indoors and didn't require ever going outside (aside from arriving and departing) so I didn't need my snow boots after all!
