Behavioral Technical
Pretty simple, they asked me about seven to ten questions. Mostly it was 'tell me about a time' type questions, but some were just about my experience and how I work with people. Make sure you ask them about what the job entails, like what a day-to-day looks like. They want to make sure you know what you're getting into.

It took about six months from when I started applying until I got the job. The process involved a background interview, a drug screen, a polygraph test, and then a bunch of interviews. These included an in-home interview, a group interview, and a one-on-one interview. They also did a physical exam that checked my vision, hearing, mental health, and general medical condition.
