Interview
I actually applied for Summer 2016, but was contacted for a Fall 2016 position. I was initially contacted by an HR recruiter via e-mail, and I did a phone interview with her and the woman who would become my direct supervisor. I received a call that I was selected for the position about a day after my interview.
