Easy folks to talk to. As a college counselor already, the questions were nice and thoughtful. Not difficult at all and very personable people. I met with Leslie and she was great.

Question 1
Tell us about your background working with students.
After submitting my application, I was sent a very lengthy "assessment." I knew I lacked some of the experience they were looking for, so I was surprised to receive the assessment at all-- but I did my best to complete it, which took several hours. I quickly heard back that they had decided to hire someone more aligned with their "counseling philosophy" (none of the questions on the assessment had anything to do with this).
