Interview
It was extremly straight foreward. I put in my application and got a call the next day. The day after that was my interview. We talked alot about my former jobs before she started talking about when I could schedule my next training class. There was no transition but the next week I was in training. It was very confusing in the middle. She was very friendly, however, and honestly seemed like she cared (which I latter learned she did!)
