First, I had a short phone call to see where I was at as a foreign student in Denmark. They wanted to know if I'd be up for staying in Copenhagen after my Erasmus ended and if getting paid was something I was looking for. Then, I had another chat on Teams with the person in charge of hiring. I had to explain my UX design approach and show off some work from my case studies. They were pretty flexible about what tasks I'd be interested in, even asking what I'd like to do if I got the job. The whole thing felt okay, but it was a bit unclear and hard to tell if it was a yes or no from their end.
