Interview
I initial began cold emailing and calling the company regarding possible internship opportunities. After about three or four calls and emails, the President finally returned my call personally, and asked if I would be willing to come in for an interview.

The interview began with a couple of associates, and was then followed by and interview by some of the partners, and then finally by the President. All questions were fit-based, and I was told that I would hear back from them soon. I was offered and internship position, but declined to pursue other opportunities.
