Yes, we use ipads. You have to buy your own and then the company will reimburse you. I think total they will reimburse is up to $720 or somewhere around there. Can't remember the exact dollar amount.

Thanks. Full size or iPad Mini? Reason I ask is that the wife already has a mini with the cellular connectivity (which I assume is also required.) If she gets a new one, I get hers.

Did you get some good one on one time there? I wanted to go but couldn't get the time off. Seem like they are specifically looking for guys coming to the job fairs?

You think that is torture?
Wait until you already have the interview!
Now THAT is TORTURE (Cruel and Unusual Punishment)!!
Take everything you read on the internet as a guideline. The interview is a curveball.

Why do you say that? I thought the interview process was a great experience.
