Interview
The day was long but after I adjusted to the process I became more relaxed. There were 6 of us and we began by doing a show and tell. There was a group activity which was associated with our values. After that we had a lunch at a local restaurant and when we got back half of us went for one on one interviews while the other half had to prepare for a 10 minute presentation, then when the others got back the others went in. When this was finished we did our presentation and the day concluded.
