There were two parts for my interview. First they did a phone interview first getting to know me and my skill set. Then an in person interview with a practical portion. That let them see what I was capable to do on the fly.

Interview
Two people talk to you and ask you questions they want to screen you to see if you are able to talk to people and ask them to do complementary sessions.
The interview process was thorough. It was nerve racking at first. Several questions were asked about my background. I met three times before I was asked to join the Equinox team.
