Behavioral Technical
So I first interviewed at a career fair with my future Principal, who was great. That interview was super short, under 10 minutes. He laid out what they were looking for and asked me a bunch of questions, and I got to tell him about myself. It took about 2 months for the next interview, which was with the Chief. This one was kinda awkward because the Chief mostly just talked about work for ages. They didn't ask me any questions, personal or professional. It went on for over 20 minutes. But, if you even get to interview with the Chief, you're pretty much guaranteed a job. All in all, from the first chat to getting the offer took about 5 months.
Confirmed questions1 question
- My principal asked how knowledgeable I was with heat transfers and fluid dynamics.
