Behavioral Technical

I applied online through my university’s website after meeting them at a career fair. I had an on-campus interview. There was a greeting room where I could chat with current full-time employees who were previous interns, and ask them questions (which is recommended because their feedback is considered). Two interviewers met with me and asked standard interview questions, focusing on behavior and my resume. I received an offer within a week, with a month to accept.
