Introduction
We have less than 15 questions to ask that may help us evaluate your potential fit for this position. This is not a technical evaluation and there are no "right" answers; we are simply looking for accuracy and honesty. Sometimes we ask irrelevant questions just to see what people say, so don't over-think anything.
Remember that this form is an informational survey and not a job application. It is a tool for us to gather additional information to be used in conjunction with reviewing your resume submission. Unfortunately, we are not able to personally follow up with or respond to every individual who completes a survey, but we do appreciate your time and interest.
Thank you!
