The interview allows you to learn more about the position, department and organization.  It also allows both you and the hiring team to determine whether the particular job is a good fit for each of you.
 
We use an interview technique called Behavioral-Based Interviewing.  A behavioral-based interview is a structured interview process where you will be asked to describe specific situations you have experienced related to the work or skill in question (i.e. teamwork).  During this type of interviewing, it is important for you to provide detailed information regarding the situation itself, the task at hand, the action you took took and the results of your action.
