"The interview was my first, and thus the build-up fairly nerve racking. In the end, though, the itnerviewers were very pleasant and down-to-earth. Most importantly, they were not super-humans and I could relate to them and respond with confidence. Overll, the interview was considerably less stressful than I anticipated, though I admit I came out feeling like I could've answered things a little differently and a little more articulately.
