Behavioral Technical
HR will contact you to schedule an interview. After that, you'll have an interview with the PE manager. The manager will discuss what you can bring to their team, like control drawing in Autocad. They're being truthful, you'll be doing a lot of drawing in Autocad for the PE, which shouldn't scare you. However, you need to know the difference between power PE and controls PE. The manager might sound arrogant, so just relax and be yourself.
