I applied online and was contacted the following day to come in for an interview. I waoted almost 3 hours to meet with the recruiter only to be told that 2 of the SSW positions were filled and that it's likely the 3rd one is as well. He suggested that I go for another position (that makes less and not in alignment with what I want to do). That was the such a disheartening experience and a waste of time..
