Technical Case Behavioral Presentation
I went to the office in 2019 for my interview. It was in-person and had several rounds. First, there was a computer test with Excel and Word. Then, I did a mock phone call with a client. After that, I interviewed with the direct managers and then the head of the team. They talked about the job's scope, what the day-to-day tasks would be like, and tested my knowledge of things like FMCG and specific countries, using Australia as an example.
