Behavioral Technical

I had a digital interview via Hirevue after getting an email back within a week. It had five questions mostly about my past work/school experience, especially regarding how well I work with customers or in group settings. I didn't hear back from the recruiter even after two months, despite leaving emails and voicemails.

Three weeks after that, I got a phone call asking if I was still interested and offering me the job. I received the offer letter after the phone call.

I talked with a recruiter at a college fair, and then I got a digital interview request. The interview had mainly behavioral questions, and a couple that asked about my experiences. I got an offer by phone call a month later. It's a great learning experience and I'd totally recommend it if you're just starting out.
