You'll typically meet with two interviewers. They're mainly looking to understand your background and accomplishments. You'll also be asked about your strengths and weaknesses. They want to know how your present and previous jobs align with the position you're seeking. The interviewers are usually quite friendly.

I applied for a Senior Executive role, but due to my diploma, I was offered an Executive position. The first interview went well because I was referred by a friend. There were 3 interviewers: a faculty member, a senior assistant manager, and an HR representative. They were all friendly and asked standard questions about me, the job, and my previous work. I wasn't expecting a second interview with the admin head and an assistant manager from a different team, not the one I would report to. The overall experience felt unprofessional and a bit off, but I still got the offer.

The interview with the department staff was pretty good, they asked the standard questions. But I noticed some red flags, like how they micromanaged their staff and the breaks were super short, only 45 minutes which is the minimum legally allowed. The HR person was not flexible and seemed really inefficient. They were really strict about getting testimonials/reference letters and at first wouldn't accept just contacting the referee for a reference check. HR also took their sweet time replying to emails and seemed to deliberately ignore my request to get the offer details by email. Then, HR would rush me to decide on the offer when they were the ones delaying sending the details. The offer package wasn't great either. The whole thing took over a month.
