Presentation Behavioral
So I had to submit a portfolio of up to 5 pages and then give a 5-minute presentation before a 35-minute interview on Microsoft Teams with 3 people. They listened to my presentation and asked questions from their list, but didn't seem that interested in the role. I felt like I was wasting their time. The main interviewer said I'd hear back by next week, but I never did.
