Interview
The interview process, for me, started when I sent in my resume for the technical writer position. I was contacted roughly a week later asking for a copy of my transcript and a two-hour timed writing sample. Three days after I sent in my writing sample, they asked me to take Epic's infamous skills assessment test, which is a two hour timed test with four sections (logic, programming capacity, reading comprehension, math).

Interview
I was first contacted by e-mail, after applying online from my university's job board (about 4 days after the initial application). From there, I scheduled a phone interview and took a writing assessment, generally looking at how you handle different writing voices. After the phone interview, I took a skill assessment (the same standard one for all applicants, more or less trying to judge technical aptitude). Here's where things got interesting, though. I was passed over for the technical writer position, but I was encouraged to apply for the QA software tester position. After I did so, I was invited (maybe a week later) out to the main Epic campus, to interview for both the QA position as well as a Project Manager position. They had us assess a few case studies and sit for a traditional interview, after which they gave us a tour of the campus. Lovely place, which made it all the more disappointing to be rejected (by phone call, directly from my recruiter, at least) about a week later.

Interview
Pretty straight forward, albeit rigorous process all together. First interview was very basic, more intended to get you excited about the job. Along with the interview was a writing assessment which required you to answer four different prompts--news story, human interest piece, press release, and product description. Following the interview is a skills assessment test which is obviously more important than the interview itself. The test is pretty math oriented--which doesn't make a lot of sense to me if you're interviewing for a writing position.

Question 1
Where do you see yourself in five years? Are you willing to relocate? Are you willing to travel? What are you interested in? What made you interested in EPIC?
