What are your general comments?

"Great day, everything went well. There was a lot of down time but I had brought a book, so no big deal. The interview was cool and I didn't have the crazy interviewer that some people mentioned on this website. My interview started out boring, since my interviewer asked me questions off a sheet and wrote all my answers down without even looking at me. But when we digressed and talked about topics not on the sheet the interview got a lot better." Report Response
