Behavioral Technical

The interviewer was pleasent although extremely late, she asked basic interview questions. Before the second interview, they required a fingerprint background check, drug test, and skills assessment test. Although this is a tough economy, I was very reluctant to take a job with the state of Kentucky with such low wages.
