Office Clerk
A staffing agency referred me. The interview was pretty simple and straightforward, nothing too tricky, no 'trap questions'. The whole interview lasted about 20 minutes and was done by just one manager, as the other was unable to attend. I was scheduled for fingerprinting the next week, and a start date was given to me a few days after that.
