      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at American University (Washington, DC) in Mar 2014

      Interview

      I had one in person interview. I applied in mid December and had the interview in mid February and started Mar 3. I interviewed with my now supervisor and now direct co-worker. It was very laid back and took about 30-40 min. I felt very comfortable. The recruiter who emailed me was very helpful before and after the process. I received an offer within a week of my interview.
