When you arrive, they register you on their system and take a photo of you.
The same person then takes you to the interview room and asked some general questions – when will you graduate, what was your favourite subject and how will you deal with being away on site.

2. Group related again, name a time when something went wrong/changed while working in a team
3. Can't remember the third
