The first interview was a group setting with 3 interviewers. They asked general questions and wanted in-depth, specific answers. Questions focused on how past experience relates to the position, problem-solving skills, and interoffice relationships, with requests for specific examples for each. They didn't provide feedback or cues about their opinions, and there was no downtime between the scripted questions.

I had to go to the court house for the interview and pay for parking. The info booth didn't know I was coming, so I had to wait in the cashier line for a bit. Finally, a supervisor was called, and the interview started. It was about 20 minutes long, with 3 interviewers against me. They were disorganized and intimidating, and seemed to twist my words. I'm not sure I'll get the job.
