Interview
I was paired with an interviewer and took a series of skills tests increasing in difficulty. Examples of tasks involved giving detailed descriptions of rooms and any obstacles that may prove challenging for a visually impaired person. Also I was given a map and a destination for a visually impaired person to give instructions on how to proceed, requiring measuring distances, judging safest and fastest routes, determining best public transportation schedules, closest building entrances, etc.
