This whole interview thing took about two months. First, there was a 30-minute phone call where we chatted about my background and what I'm qualified for. After that, I got invited to come to the PG&E office in Oakland for an in-person interview. It was a panel thing with four people from the department.

Behavioral Presentation
The interview process can differ for every job since it's decentralized and depends on the hiring manager. Usually, there's a phone screen first, then you'll be invited to meet the team. The key things to focus on are: 1. Showing enthusiasm for the company. 2. Researching recent events, like prop 16 and smart meter issues. 3. Demonstrating a passion for green energy. 4. Preparing thoughtful questions about the job. 5. Asking to meet peers in the department. 6. Ending the interview by asking 'any concerns about my experience?' so you have a chance to address them. Knowing people at the company is a plus – mention their names if you do.

It was a really long interview process, like, a lot of questions. Things got delayed a bit, maybe 'cause there are so many managers involved? The people who interviewed me didn't seem too thrilled with their jobs. The office space itself was pretty nice, though.
