So the interview process was like this: first, there was a written part where they checked my MS Office skills. I had to draft an official letter in Word, make a PowerPoint presentation, and create an Excel sheet with a budget and a graph. They also tested my French. The second round was oral, and they focused on my interpersonal skills and what I expect from the role.

we started with an evaluation then I was shortlisted to attend an interview. the interview was with a panel of 3 ladies that were very nice, I didn't get the offer even though that I felt very confident about it. the only reservation that I have about the whole experience is that when I tried to have a feedback about what were my disadvantages and how I can improve them they rejected my request and didn't reveal any information.
