Did you have any issues with logbooks, application or paperwork?	I discovered after the interview during my post mortem that the university for my undergrad updated their system between when they issued me a transcript which I used to fill out my application, and when I delivered a sealed official transcript to Delta. The GPA differed by .01 higher on my application than on the sealed transcript. During the interview HR had me pen change the application to match the sealed transcript, and then sign it. They asked me several time is this was now the correct number. They then had me sign a paper that said I would be terminated if I was found to have lied.
Technical Test Questions	No issues encountered with technical questions
What was the hardest technical question or content you experienced during the job knowledge test?	I thought everything was covered in the prep course.
HR Questions	The most difficult HR questions were Hypotheticals. They were very vague and the interviewers would interrupt to switch something up. I would have liked to use scratch paper to keep the various story lines straight, but they discouraged using paper as soon as I reached for my binder.
Cog Test	To use the COG trainer on IPad, I found I needed to use flash, so downloaded the pay version of Puffin browser for iOS. Perhaps adding a left and right button to the COG trainer would allow practicing the ball balance games on the ipad. for those games I had to switch to the desktop computer which then did not have a touch screen for the other divided attention tasks.
How long prior to the interview did you prepare for the HR portion of the interview?	I originally attended in person seminar 2 years ago. I repeated all of the videos during the month prior and received a top off the day before the interview.
Which HR Prep service did you use and did it help?	I used ECIC. I should have made time for a top-off farther out from the interview. I discovered that I was lacking in my prep for a smooth way to answer the hypothetical questions. I would liked to had more time to practice those between top-off and interview.
Any additional information you would like to add.
Is there anything you wish you could have done different to prepare you for this process?	I concentrated my prep on JKT and COG to the detriment it seems of HR. I thought I was good on HR because of past prior prep and success with other interviews. This was a different experience and I will be better prepared next time. A friend recommended to me, a few days before the interview, to prep for the psych test using another paid service. It seemed like a good idea, but I was too close in and out of time for good ideas.
