First I had a call with the recruiter about my education and experience (company and job description). Then, I had a second interview with the manager and an expert from the team about the specific activities of the job.

It was pretty easy and simple. It was mostly basic behavioral questions like "what are your greatest strengths" and then rescheduling for the next interview. Since it was at an Indeed mass hiring event, the follow up interview was sadly never set up and I was ghosted.

I had an interview for a job in Alaska, which is close to my home, but the interviewer was in NJ. They seemed impatient, kept cutting me off, and didn't let me fully answer their questions. They also didn't seem to know much about Alaska, got upset when I corrected them on a few things about the state, and I wasn't even able to ask any questions at the end – they just ended the call. Honestly, the HR person was one of the least professional I've encountered, being really snappy and rude.
