      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at American University (Washington, DC) in Jan 2013

      Interview

      I had two interviews, each with a separate upper level management. The interviews were very casual, but I remained very professional. The conversations focused on my ability to remain organized and juggle different projects. They asked me to work on project for them which I returned to them immediately the next day, within twenty four hours. After the interview, I got a call to begin work a week after interviewing.
