Initial communication started with a phone call from the Precinct's Senior asking for availability for first interview. First interview was with the Department Manager focused mostly on previous working experience as well as skill set; interview ran a bit long (~1 hour) since the interviewer had to walk out of the interview due to needing the manager's presence on the floor. The second interview was a phone interview with the Geek Squad Manager to test my IT background and knowledge; the interview was short (~15 minutes).
