The HR contact was good. The interview itself was pretty straightforward and the questions weren't overly challenging. They were professional throughout and asked relevant questions for the role and industry. I didn't get any feedback afterwards.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

It was an amazing experience. I really liked the questions. Some questions were about my experience in teamwork and multicultural environments, and I had to give examples. At the end, I asked two questions: Have I answered all your questions? Is there anything to clarify? And what advice do you give for someone like me who wants to perform well in this role? I was impressed that they are focusing on the candidate's enthusiasm and energy rather than experience in booking systems like Amadeus. Even though I worked with Amadeus, I told them I would need to refresh my memory to excel at it. I mentioned I am a quick learner and thrive on growth and learning new things. I'm still waiting to hear back from them.
