I hadn't heard back from the DA's Office, so I emailed them asking for feedback on my application because I was slightly overqualified for the position. Several weeks later I heard back from a different recruiter who inquired with me as to whether or not I was still interested in the position. We scheduled an interview after they "learned I was in Atlanta" and not in my hometown a few states away.
The interview was the only interview that I've ever struggled with because I was asked illegal questions directly from the district attorney, who was both intimidating and welcoming, ie: what do your parents do for a living? How many siblings do you have? What do they do? Are you originally from the U.S.?
I didn't know I was being racially profiled until someone from Georgia pointed out to me that I probably felt uncomfortable because of the questioning that boxed me in. This was tough, and I had struggled to come back from this interview. I knew that if they offered me the position, I couldn't accept it. It was a horrible experience that deeply hurt my self-worth.
If you're in any way a minority, as I am mostly white, I could imagine that you'd be asked similar questions. Just be prepared - there are good materials online (that I know of now) that can help you with answering these questions. Though, I would advise you to consider if you really want to work for someone who views people through such an unkind lens. I imagine the company culture is very negative.
