What impressed you negatively?

"I wish my interview was open-file so that the interviewer would have had some backgbround. What I didn't like is that he forgot to tell me that it was closed-file (he later apologized), so that during the first part of the interview I omitted a few things which I figured would have been repetitions from my application. Later, as I realized he didn't get my references to the application, I backtracked. If you are not sure if it is open/closed file-AKS." Report Response

"Very enjoyable conversation. I didn't feel that I was being questioned, but at the end I felt as if I got all of my points across.

We shall see. At least I didn't have to deal with all the other stressed out over-achivers (j/k)." Report Response
