I got there at 9am and they first talked about the job I applied for and gave me some more details about the department. Then they checked my application again to make sure everything was correct. I had to take the impact test, and after that, they finished up with my interview, hiring paperwork, and drug test. They mentioned I'd hear from them about an offer once my drug test and background check results were back.
