Technical Behavioral
I applied online and was invited to a JobShop event. There, I had to do an assessment testing my Excel, Word, and admin prioritization skills. The tasks were pretty simple, like copying a Google image into a Word document, and I had 30 minutes for 8 tasks. After waiting two weeks for them to score my assessment, I received an interview invitation for the following week. The interview was face-to-face and quite enjoyable because the people were very nice. I heard back about the outcome about a week later, though they mentioned it would normally be sooner but was delayed due to staff sickness.
