Interview Tips

Here is some additional information to help you make a positive first impression during the interview process.

  • Before your interview, make sure your resume is up to date.

  • Familiarize yourself with our company and review the details of the job description.

  • For remote interviews, make sure that you have strong internet connection and dial in from a private, quiet location free of distractions (mute your cell phone notifications.)

  • Log in early to your appointment, dress professionally, and have a copy of your resume ready to reference.

  • Stay engaged in the conversation.

  • Our interviews are behavioral based, which means you will be asked to describe specific examples from your work experience. In your responses, be sure to describe the situation and explain the steps you took to find a resolution. Be sure to explain how the resolution impacted the situation.

  • Here are a few examples of behavioral based questions that you may be asked in an interview: Tell me about a time when you overcame an obstacle at work, how did you overcome it and what was the result? Tell me about a time when you resolved conflict at work, what was the conflict, how did you resolve it, what was the outcome?

  • Be prepared to ask questions at the end of the interview process. We encourage this step so that you can learn more about the role and our team.

Our goal is to keep our candidates informed throughout the interview process. You can check the status of your application by clicking the login link in the top right corner of our navigation bar. After logging in, you can view your application status.
