This was a great process. To be a great candidate, you should look professional. Sit up straight and make sure your mannerisms are good by calling people sir or ma'am. Also, it's important to show up earlier to your interview rather than on time or late because it takes about 10 minutes to walk from the parking structure to where the interview is being held.

So I applied online and heard back pretty quickly. Then I had an interview with a panel of four forensic scientists from different sections of the lab. It was pretty standard, asking usual interview questions. After that, I had to do a background check before they made me an offer.
