Behavioral Technical Presentation

I went to a career fair and had a formal interview with someone from NBBJ. We went through my portfolio and they asked me questions about the company. I felt like I really connected with the interviewer and we both understood the roles. I also got to chat with other NBBJ folks when they had a moment. They made sure I had time to ask my questions and talk about myself.

The interview process was smooth, with nice people. It wasn't super hard, but it did take a while. They really tried to sell the job, especially if they needed someone quickly. That was it.
