Behavioral Technical Presentation

First, there was a phone call with a recruiter that included basic interview questions. Then, I was invited to an assessment day where I interviewed with the HR Manager and a team leader. The interview was pretty straightforward, focusing on competency-based questions where I had to provide examples of using my skills. The assessment itself was on paper and involved simple tasks like comparing CVs and writing an email based on given information.
