The interview was pretty chill. Just bring your resume, and be ready to chat about your background. They mentioned it's totally fine if you haven't had formal security training, as you'll get trained up on whatever you're assigned to.
Confirmed questions1 question

I applied online and then got a phone call two days later for a quick chat. They told me about the job basics like shifts, pay, and where it is, and asked if I was still interested and about my past work. After I said yes, they emailed me the details for the in-person interview. At the interview, two supervisors asked me questions. Most of them were about my past experiences and how I handle things. They said I'd hear back in three days.
