Interview Process
If selected for an initial interview, a staff member will contact you directly. These interviews are conducted in person when possible or by Skype/phone for applicants out of town.
Applicants selected to move on to the second interview stage will be notified directly. These interviews are conducted by Site Supervisors and are held at the site when possible (again, for out of town applicants a phone or Skype interview will be held).
