Technical Coding Presentation

I applied through my school's co-op program and got an interview. They were hiring multiple Business Analysts for four different departments. The interview mainly consisted of technical questions, covering BPMN diagramming, ER diagramming, and completing a use case for an ATM by just listing the steps. There were two interviewers, each looking to hire a BA for their department. They gave us the questions beforehand so we could read them while they asked. We could skip questions and come back to them later. The interviewers were not overly friendly, but they weren't intimidating either.

I applied through the University of Ottawa's COOP Program and got scheduled for an interview with 2 people. The interview was about 20-30 minutes long and included time for questions at the end. It started with a quick overview of the team I'd be joining, then an icebreaker about me, followed by some situational questions, and finally closing questions like 'Why should we hire you?'.
