Don’t prepare for this. Work on case practice

You’ll get info about the recruiting process and next steps. You may be asked general non-evaluative questions about your office interest, scheduling an interview, etc.

Gotcha, thank you hoping it goes smoothly!

What’s the general turnaround time from the first screen to the first case interview?

In my office it’s been quick, like 1-2 weeks and often on Fridays. Mostly just to make sure interviewers are available. Thx Covid

My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.
