Presentation Behavioral
I had three zoom interviews for the internship. The first was a group session where they presented their company and why I should be interested. Then there were two individual interviews. They asked standard questions like if I would be a good fit. I decided to withdraw from the process because I no longer wanted to pursue the internship.
