I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at University of Maryland (College Park, MD) in Feb 2014

Interview

Very arduous, many interviews and essays, and upon completing you have to take a semester long class, as well as train during holidays. Interviews themselves were in a one on one format, followed by a more extended group interview. However now they do 2 one on one interviews, with the second being more

Interview Questions
  • Most of the questions asked in the interview were about how you interact with people, for example "what would you do in this situation" or "what is an example of you displaying leadership" etc.

I think was I the just victim of a scam. Guy with very bad English calls me, and after a series of unintelligible exchanges he sets me up with an interview for eleven o’clock on a Thursday, with which looks like a crappy job. No one ever called. Now I’m getting spammed with jobs that have nothing to do with me. I know it’s desperate out there, but please be aware of these scams.
