Behavioral Technical
So first, they look at your resume. Then, there's a chat, either on the phone or video. After that, you might do some tests for technical stuff or skills. Then, you'll probably have an in-person interview, maybe with a group of people. They'll also ask you questions about how you behave. Finally, they'll decide and either give you feedback or an offer.

The interview was pretty chill but still professional. Jack was cool to chat with and he gave me a tour. He asked about my salary expectations and availability, and when I could come in for a trial shift.

Behavioral Presentation
Applied for the job because it was local and a new role within the company that wasn't a 0 hours contract. I assumed the listed hours of 9am to 12pm Saturday & Sunday meant a 6-hour weekly contract, but it turned out to be 0 hours, which felt a bit misleading as it wasn't in the advert. The manager then said the induction for coffee & tea making would be in Newcastle, a place I couldn't easily get to without significant travel costs, especially for the following week. This made me realize all the questions asked earlier were pointless, considering the effort needed for a job that might have required full-time hours when I only wanted part-time for extra cash.
