The job description they posted was quite different from what they were actually looking for, which caused some immediate discrepancies and led to more of an informal chat than anything serious. It wasn't ideal and felt like a waste of everyone's time.

Behavioral
I got a phone call to schedule an interview. They set up a meeting fast, and I was interviewed by the manager of the Energy Service Team, who was looking for a new Admin Assistant. It was a typical interview where they asked about my past work, hobbies, university activities, and my local area. It felt more like a chat than a formal interview.
