How did you prepare for the interview?

The usual

What impressed you positively?

Students were very informative and enthusiastic

What impressed you negatively?

Despite assurances to the contrary, the interview session was very high pressured. I felt like a creature being examined in a lab.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There was a huge amount of downtime. After being fed lunch, interviewees were left in a room for up to three hours while waiting for a very short interview.

What are your general comments?

Overall, I was somewhat disappointed. Logistically, it is probably hard to accomodate a large number of candidates, but I thought the structure of the day could be re-worked. Also, only high-sugar and high-caffeine beverages were available, so it was extremely hard to relax during the downtime. I wish I had gone to the OSU vs USC football game...:(
