I applied online back in June 2014 and was called to interview on July 30. I met with my potential supervisor and the program director. They seemed nice and mentioned they'd be writing notes throughout my responses, so I mostly saw the tops of their heads. It felt like a pretty straightforward process. I had to submit a writing sample in the lobby and got a brief tour of the office spaces. The interview itself took about 30 minutes, and they were quite detailed in explaining the role.

I interviewed with the Program Monitor Staff. They asked me a total of 10 questions. Each staff member I met with asked me two questions about my qualifications for the role. It was a sit-down interview, where I was across a table from the interviewing staff. The whole thing lasted about 1.5 hours. They had my resume to look over.
