Interview
Was contacted by a recruiter that conducted an initial phone interview. After a few days, she scheduled an interview with two of the employees at the firm, one was a partner, while the other was the Operations Manager.

Came into the office and interviewed with each employee for an hour. It was not difficult, general interview questions. I thanked them for their time and followed up with a thank you email to both ladies. After a week, the recruiter reached back saying they were pursuing another candidate.
