So we began with a background check and just chatted a bit to get comfortable. Then they asked some standard questions like 'tell us about our company' and 'why did you apply for this position'. The tricky part is that they dig deeper based on your answers, so you gotta be able to back up what you say. Like, don't make stuff up if you can't back it up, 'cause it's tough.
