Behavioral Technical
After applying on Linkedin, HR reached out for a first chat about my motivations and past work. Then, I was picked for a more technical interview with the team manager to go deeper into my skills and the job duties. Lastly, I met the lab director for a third interview. This chat was about the company's strategy and growth paths. This multi-step process gave me a full picture of the company and the role, helping me decide if it's the right next step.
