Interview
I submitted my resume at a career fair after a friend who worked there recommended me. About a week later I got an email to schedule an on campus interview. The interviewer asked which classes I was currently taking (which was data structures II at the time), and asked accordingly. Many of the questions were about data structures: heaps, linked/array lists, binary trees, time complexities, common sorts. The behavorial section asked the normal stuff: greatest weakness, handling some situation, etc.
A week after the interview, I was notified of my internship offer.
