Interview
Interview process is a four step process. First is a casual interview, or possibly a phone interview. By casual I mean that they are just trying to get to know you. The first interview concludes with a personality test that takes about thirty minutes and is done online. Second interview is in person and it involves going over the personality test. The end of this interview results in a homework assignment. The homework assignment is 10 surveys that are very general but are the foundation of what you'll be doing as an FSR. Usually a week later the last interview goes over the homework assignment and if all goes well an offer should follow.
