>me: 5 years of retail and two fancy degrees
>overall this took over four hours

I sounded nervous during the panel and I probably looked lackluster compared to my peers. The agents said they'd email us with information about fingerprinting and drug tests if we were hired or rejected, but so far I've heard nothing.
Either way their training doesn't start until late October, so at least I'll have the free time to make it to the convention I wanted to attend.
