First I had a quick call with the recruiter, lasted about 15-20 mins. Then a 30-min chat with HR. After that, I spoke with the team leader and manager for about 40 mins. They made me an offer. The whole thing took about two weeks.

The interview process had three stages. First, I had an interview with a staff member. Then, before the second interview, there was a quick online language test. After finishing the online task, the second interview happened, and it was a group interview with most of it being a role-playing format.

I went through 2 stages for this role, a language test and a phone call. The language test itself had 3 parts: spelling, fill in the blank, and a listening comprehension where I had to pick the best and worst responses to a scenario. We mutually decided to stop the process because the role seemed like more than what the job spec described and the salary wasn't meeting my expectations.

  • Can you tell me where you currently live?
  • When would you be able to start?
  • Is starting on X date something you're willing to do?
