2. Where are our interviews taking place? I believe you mentioned two places before.
Everyone will meet at Lebanon Community Hospital and the interviews will be at the Hospital or Linn Benton Community College- Lebanon Center.
3. What time does the interview date begin and end so we can book tickets.
Plan for an all day event block out 8am-4pm for the interview day.
4. The way I see my travel arrangements at the present moment is traveling by rental car. Will there be designated places to park or shall I plan on other forms of travel to the interview (walking, etc)?
There will be parking in the front of/surrounding the Lebanon Community Hospital.
5. How many will be interviewing that day?
50 is the number at present date.
Looks like there are some decent hotels in Albany and a smaller cheaper one in Lebanon itself. Off to buy my plane tickets, anyone want to carpool from the airport?
