Interview
I applied online and a manager called me back about three days later for the first interview. Pretty informal. He only asked a couple questions. Most of the interview was going over my application, previous work history, etc. The next day they called for back for a second interview, which I had a week later with the district supervisor. After about ten to fifteen minutes, she offered me the job. They were both very easy and I knew I was going to get the job after the first one.
