Interview
Group Interview, Introduce yourself then they give you various tasks to do as a group. Break the ice: meet other people in the interview room. Each group interview is different this one asked us for a marketing plan for a new item. Each department has different interview questions obviously; I know logistics asked the group to create a stack using straws.
