Interview
I applied online and then received an email asking me to come for a personal interview. I was interviewed by two women; one was in the room with me while the other was conference called in. Some questions about me and the experience I have. Then they asked competency based question, which took up most of the hour. They got back to me the next to tell me I was unsuccessful but explained that I was being to ambitious and to much of a leader which was not what they were looking for.
