I was interviewed by two supervisors. They asked what I knew about the company and other general questions about my experience and accomplishments. They looked at my resume and asked questions. I also had time to ask some of my questions before they left the room for me to complete the writing assessment. After that was finished, the Director and another person interviewed me and that was it.

So, basically, I had this one interview, and they hit me with the standard questions about managing projects, what I'm good at, what I'm not so good at, and just generally about stuff I've done before. After that, maybe a week or two after chatting with my future boss, they gave me the offer.
