After a month of testing, etc, I have finally been called in for an interveiw at a different company on Monday -- it is at 8 am! The man interviewing me says I'm brave for requesting that time (I work at 9:30 so I would have to do it early.)
Wish me luck! This job will be a great opportunity, even if it is only a temp position, cause it is with a governmental insurance company
The only thing I am really nervous about is that this company does a "situational" interview process, meaning they ask you if you've been in such and such a situation, how you handled said situation, and what the outcome of your actions were.

If that's the case, I'll give you a bit of advice, which you can take or not. Most people don't realize they're allowed to actually think before they speak in a situational interview (or a lot of other times). By that, I mean...a question is posed to you, you can formulate your thoughts before you actually answer it. Analyze the question. Don't OVERthink it, but certainly think about your answer before you speak. A lot of people think they have to have the "right answer" instantly. Sometimes, there IS no right answer, and most of the time, it's not an instant one.

Thanks.
They actually say the same thing on the interview tips on their site, and also what my boyfriend told me. I'm glad cause sometimes I gotta think a little bit for those ones haha.
