What are your general comments?
i honestly did not feel that it was a ''relaxed'' interview. the one interviewer started the interview out negatively by implying that i was involved in ''too many'' extracurriculars during college. it did not feel like a conversation as my other interviews have felt; it seemed as though i was speaking to a brick wall. they gave no facial or verbal feedback and rarely asked any follow-up questions. obviously, this made the interview even more stressful. also, know i am not alone. i talked with 2 of the other interviewees that day as we toured the campus and they told me they also had a negative interview experience.
