Behavioral Technical Presentation
I applied through a career fair at my school. About a month later, the person I spoke to contacted me to invite me down for the first round of the interview. I specifically applied for Marketing Specialist, but the communication mentioned Marketing/HR, so they were probably going to see where I fit better. Three people interviewed me: the director, manager, and assistant manager.
