Hiring process started with contact from a recruiter. She sent me an e-mail describing the LEAP program and asked if I wanted to hear more information.

After that, we scheduled a phone interview which consisted of a program overview, resume review, and a technical screening. The technical questions were simple and revolved around basic Java and Object Oriented questions.

I was then scheduled for a series of three on-site interviews. Each of these lasted 30 minutes each and were one-on-one. Interviewed with a director, VP, and technical manager. The first two were behavioral and the last one was technical. Behavioral questions were about leadership and teamwork experience. The technical interview again primarily focused around Java and OO concepts. However, the interviewer structured it around my resume and asked which topics I felt most comfortable with.

Best advice is to be honest and confident, and know your resume. A review of OO concepts and SQL programming would also be beneficial.

Describe 3 major concepts of Object Oriented programming (Polymorphism, Encapsulation, Inheritance).

Write a SQL statement to retrieve all users and their info from the database where the last name starts with 'A'.
