          Common FAQs
          Is there a cost?
          Nope :) As I am the sponsor of our area's site, there is absolutely no cost to you to be interviewed or be on the site!

          How does the interview process work?
          Our interview will take place at the location listed above. Please note that it is a video interview so I'll arrive shortly beforehand to set up. And I'll ask between 5-10 questions. Just let me know if you would like them sent ahead of the interview

          Is there anything I need to do before the interview?
          All that is needed is to review the questions, to help you be better prepared.

          Will I be notified after the interview has been posted?
          Yes! Both my team, Parkbench, and I will follow up with you. Parkbench will send you info about how you can use the full functionality of the community website. But I'll check in with you to make sure that you've seen it, and give you the link to promote it on social media.
