Interview
First asked me what is the most challenging part in my programming experience and how did I get over it. Then a technical question. It's about counting the number of words in a string. And finally see if I have any questions.

Interview
Talked to recruiters at a job fair. Got an email three days later for an on campus interview. Responded and signed up for an interview slot on their website. Interview was about 25 mins, starting off with a couple behavioral questions and questions about my resume. Ended with a short technical question, which the interviewer asked me to test afterwards.
