First interview was a telephone interview which lasted 1 hour. Second interview was in-person interview, followed by a tour of the department, a 10 minute PowerPoint presentation and an additional interview from all department members. The second interview totaled about 3 and a half hours. Both interviews were scheduled by e-mail.

The interview involved a program and regional director. They inquired about my entire work history and wanted to know why I transitioned from one job to another. My background includes the military, education, financial services and program management. It lasted over and hour and at times felt more like an inquisition than an attempt to see if I was compatible with the organization.
