Those of you who've already interviewed at Pittsburgh, could you tell me if they have an open/closed interview. Is it a group, individual..? Thanks.

Open good old fashion One on One style.
 
Very relaxed. It's open file. When I came in, my interviewer couldn't find my file. He didn't bother to read it and we just had a good ol conversation about random topics. VERY RELAXED. 🙂

Oh, I like the sound of that. here's hoping that mine's as relaxed as yours 🙂
 
I'm flying into Pittsburgh next week, could anyone tell me the best way to get from the airport to one of the hotels that Rose Mangold had suggested. Thanks.
 
You can take a cab which will cost you about 40 bucks. A cheaper way is t take the 28X bus which will cost you about two dollars. The bus will take about an hour to get to the hotels area. To catch the 28x shuttle, just wait outside of door 6 (which you wil find as soon as you come out of the terminals). Good luck 👍
 
I think I might be better off w/the 28X bus, since I arrive the day before. Thanks for the tip 🙂

Make sure you know what stop to get off at too. I was lucky and only missed my stop by about a block. 😛 I'm not used to public transportation. 😳


Wouldn't my stop simply be my hotel? 😕 I'm not used to public transportation either. I better not miss my stop...I'm already freakin out about how cold it is over there! 😱
 
Okay, so the 28x does not stop at every single hotel in that area. Here is what you should do: you should tell the the driver the name of the hotel, and he will drop you off at the nearest stop. So, you might have to walk a little bit. BTW, it was not that cold when I was there and I am from S. Cal 🙂
 
Oh, I see, I was planning to tell the guy my hotel's name and let him figure it out. Good to know I was on the right path. I'm from S.Cal as well, they say the temp's in the 30s right now, w/ a light dusting of snow in the morning :laugh:

heres a route map for you in case the bus driver doesn't know where your hotel is. you might want to find a stop on the map thats closest to your hotel.

Your hotel should be in the Oakland area on the map. 🙂
