The interview process was okay, I’d say it was good if someone would’ve gotten back to me. The HR woman who initially set up my interview was very nice and helpful, and the man I interviewed with over the phone seemed a bit more stand offish. I thought it all went well, but after not hearing anything for over a month I checked online to see my application changed to no longer in consideration. Would’ve been nice to be told so, I did follow up.

- Can you explain why you are a good fit for this role?
