The phone interview was scheduled twice but then cancelled both times. It really came across as unprofessional and didn't make a good impression. I didn't feel valued as a candidate, more like just another number. The person interviewing me seemed unfocused and unprepared.

Behavioral Presentation
It was difficult, with challenges, and they questioned a lot about whether I would be "hard" enough to handle the pressure. It was a bit annoying but motivated me to do well. Had to do a presentation about my understanding of the role and how I would be different from every other recruiter. They also challenged my negotiation skills and tried to see if I would be a strong team player. The initial call was more discussing my degree and projects and why I think recruitment is interesting etc.

Behavioral Other
I found this opportunity through a recruiter at CPL. The interview was remote because of the pandemic. They suggested I hide my real interests and pretend about my career aspirations. They also mentioned the previous person in this role couldn't handle it and they hoped I would be better, essentially telling me not to be 'weak.' It felt like the writing was on the wall.
