This is your big chance to brag, so take it by the reins. Pick a skill that is relevant to the job you’re interviewing for based upon the research you’ve done.

It didn’t take too long. Of course my experience might have been different, but only a day or two after I turned the application in. I was lucky, I got to speak with someone who was in the office that day. That isn’t always the case but when I turned in the paperwork, somebody was there for me to talk to. They called me back I think it was a day or two later, and I went back in the next day. It was about almost a week from when I first went in to when I was actually hired on.
