The interview was pretty standard, it was a panel interview where they just ask you questions. There weren't any tests or anything. They asked scenario-based questions.

So I had this interview for Emergency Communications Specialist. I thought it was gonna be with one person, but turns out there were three interviewers! It was kinda intimidating, especially since they put us in this really small office. After we finished talking, they hit me with a writing test. It wasn't mentioned beforehand, but I guess that's how they do things there.
