HR was cool. First, I had a phone interview. Then, I went in for an in-person interview. After that, I was called back for another interview. The questions were about typical admin tasks like filing, answering phones, and making copies.

Behavioral Presentation

I saw the job posting on Glassdoor and emailed my resume and a cover letter. They called me in for an interview the next day. It was in the boardroom and lasted about an hour and a half. I answered questions and met the director of care. She offered me the job, but I have to finish my practicum first. I need to call her when I'm done.
