This interview was really nice! Everyone I spoke with was super friendly and seemed to know what they were talking about. They asked a bunch of questions, and I talked to two people in total. It felt like medium difficulty, but I bet it would be pretty easy if you were a good fit for the job. All in all, it was a good experience.

The interview was with the head of the group, who was a discharged Air Force Officer. They were very inappropriate during the interview. I don't understand why they can do whatever they want at the workplace, and they have a big ego just because they are in a federally funded agency. I wish I had never applied in this department.

The interview was quite long, and I was asked a lot of questions, more than I expected. The people were nice though, and I had a good experience overall. The departments were also quick to respond.

The DEP has a specific interview process where they read questions from a binder. Two employees conducted the interview. Questions focused on your computer skills, office experience, and prior receptionist work. While they prefer science backgrounds, they might consider others if there's potential for advancement within the company. After the questions, you'll be left alone to proofread a letter.
