Process
A recruiter liked my resume at the career fair and gave me a time for an on-campus interview. At the interview, I was asked about my projects and then some basic behavioral questions. The next half of the interview was technical. I was given a piece of paper and had to code. This was my first technical interview, and I was in the middle of my Data Structures course, so I did not do as well.
