Behavioral Technical

We started with an introduction, then asked about your qualifications and what you expect from the role. We also left time for any questions you might have. The vibe was friendly and professional, but the online interview was held in a big room, making it a bit hard to follow sometimes. I often had to ask things twice to make sure I understood.
