The position was listed as temp to permanent.
The interview itself consisted of 2 parts.
First was with future supervisor who asked about my background, career goals and provided an overview of the job.
Second was with the co-worker I would be working most closely with. Who seemed to try to get a feel for how organized and flexible I would be in the role.
Once the 6 month contract was up, the position was posted publicly as required and a second interview had to take place. There was not much room for negotiating salary.
