What are your general comments?

"My interview experience was awesome. I just felt like I was having a conversation with two friends. It was so low stress I couldn't believe it, but I guess I had a sort of low stress attitude going into it as well. They asked funny questions like "What is your favourite comedy and why?" I was surprised that for an open file interview, the interviewers didn't seem to know much about me. Maybe they chose to be that way to stay unbiased. My interview was over really fast, 35 minutes instead of 60, and in the end I got in so I guess in my case it was a good sign. Overall I had a really positive experience in Calgary." Report Response
