I had an interview in their office. They asked general questions about why I wanted to work there and what experience I have that makes me a good candidate. I'm not sure if they still do this, but they also gave me a test about how I would respond to different situations.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
There were 3 lady interviewers, and 1 lady typing notes. They seemed really nice and asked pretty basic questions. Each interviewer asked 3 questions, so 9 in total. At the end, they asked if I had any questions for them. They seemed to know a lot about the job, I think one was a supervisor and another was an actual monitor, but I'm not sure about the other two. What bothered me a bit was having to chase them for an update. A week after the interview, I called and was told it went to the hiring manager. Two weeks after the interview, I called again and they said it was in background check. Three weeks after the interview, I called and someone from HR said they were making offers. I asked if that meant we were waiting for a call back, and she was like 'A call back for what?' I asked them to just let us know if we got the job, and she said they were making offers to the selected candidates. I hung up and emailed the person I'd been in contact with to see if maybe I missed a call saying I wasn't selected. A few minutes later, the HR person called me back and said she got an email from someone noting I expected a call. I confirmed I did expect a call, because most places are courteous enough to let you know if they're not moving forward with your application. Then she said, 'You weren't selected, the job was offered to someone else, we just mail letters and don't do phone calls.' I thanked her and the call ended. I still haven't received a letter, and it's now a month after the interview.
