Interview
After i submitted my online application i was called imminently after, inviting me to come to their job fair which was 2 days after the call. I went to the job fair, there were a handful of girls also applying as well. I was called to go to the back to be interviewed by one of the managers (always bring extra resumes). The interview went well, don't overthink, and just breathe! After interview i was scheduled for a demo, after the demo i was called one more time to be interviews by another manager and she basically told me i was hired and we discussed scheduling and orientation dates.
