There is a delay of two weeks for payout. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very thankful that the operators were very approachable and informative. They understood what I'm going through. They also gave me some tips for the interview. For the interview prep, I was watching a few star interview on utube and I read a book. Hopefully il sound confident and at ease at the interview.

So Excited!!!! Hi @jayjay, congrats! It sure feels good to get that interview email! My recommendation for your interview is to Google and YouTube "behavioural based interview questions." The STAR interview format. Bring a bottle of water and arrive early to your interview (super important!). None of us on here really had much help other than the Google and YouTube suggestions; we all worked hard to get where we are, yourself included. Clearly, they think you're a good-calibre candidate to interview; the interview is your chance to prove it to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making friends with someone from or near your info session is also good Just do your routes for the job shadow, prep for the interview and be yourself. @Libra Don't read too much into it; we're people helping people first.
