Interview
Always stay open to being mobile when interviewing for this position. You will not be considered if you are not open to relocation. After you are "approved" for employment, a recruiter will offer locations to you. You may be more picky at this time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interviews (including a web cam "practice" interview with your recruiter, and a panel interview) are conducted using the "situational behavior" method of interviewing. Look up and answer the common questions used in this method before hand and you will have no problems at all.
