Behavioral Technical
I talked to 2 people virtually for a program assistant role, but they didn't have an opening and were building a talent pool. They sent me to another team with a job that I interviewed for. I was told what the job was after I started the interview, which was not ideal since I couldn't prepare. I found out later I didn't get it after following up.
