Behavioral Presentation
Applied online, then got an email about 3 weeks later (mid-August) for an initial phone screen. The next week, I had an in-person panel interview. Within 4 days, I got a conditional offer email. The following week was for fingerprinting/background check. Then, in early September, I got an email saying I wasn't being considered anymore. They didn't give a reason, but I think it was because I didn't give enough detail on the supplemental background questionnaire about prior thc use, even though I have no criminal history or other issues.
