Behavioral Presentation Technical

The video-interview was pretty chill with two Project Leaders from the NYC office. We barely did any small talk. They jumped right into asking about my background, then I did a short presentation showing 2 of my own projects and 2 professional ones, where I had to specify my role. They're really focused on the concept and how the form was developed.
