Very personalized interview asking about specific components of resume and application. Asked about unexpected aspects of resume, including community service listed under college experience on my resume. Also asked about strengths / weakness / something people would find surprising about me. Overall neutral experience and interview goes by very quickly. Know all of the details of your full application very well!
