Are you familiar with using zoom? If not, there are some tutorials out there. I am not tech savvy so anything zoom I have to have one of my kids set everything up for me.

My son has done several different types of zoom interviews for several different things. Usually you are emailed a link and told what time your interview check in is. Click the link in the email and it should take you to where you need to be. It is usually a zoom holding room. This is where you wait until it is time for your interview. At this point when it is your turn they usually click you in.

My son has done zoom interviews with anywhere from a panel of 2 to a panel of 6. He said usually you see the panel members along with their names. I think my son said in one of his interviews one panel member had a black screen the whole time even when asking questions. That member never turned his camera on. It was somewhat distracting.

I do not have any inside info so I do not know if all the interviews are done on the same day and I do not know how many panels/interview rooms they have set up. I do not know about the emails. Everything I have spoken of is just from my son's past experiences.

You might want to check your zoom settings before hand to make sure your camera and sound work okay and you know how to turn them on and off. My husband had an interview where they actually sent him a practice link well in advance of his interview to check sound/camera. If you have experience with remote learning you will probably be fine.

You might try calling or emailing your questions to Senator Feinstein's office.
Good luck.

Thank you, your description was great about how the panel appeared on screen for your son.
 
Hi, my IL Congressman had interviews yesterday so I was just wondering if anyone in IL has heard anything about status from Sen. Durbin's office yet? Thanks!

DS has not heard anything yet from Senators Durbin or Duckworth. Which congressional district are you? Still waiting to hear from 16th.

IL 6th. (Our Rep's website made clear even before applications were due that his interviews would all be conducted yesterday, and the office reached out last Monday to schedule them.)
 
Hi, I am in IL-12 and have not heard anything from anyone yet. I thought Bost was doing in person interviews but I haven't heard yet.
 
Any updates from Florida senators? Probably too early for Rubio, but anyone hear from Scott's office yet?
 
Anyone from NV here heard form Cortez Masto? I got an email from her office that my application was verified but nothing about an interview date.

I’m in Florida district 22, so if it was my congressperson the code would have been FL22. I believe 61 and 62 are the codes of the senators in each state.

Did you receive an invite to FL22 meet and greet on 11/26? I would private message you, but for some reason I cannot.
