It was two online interviews. I think I did okay answering their questions, I felt pretty good about it. But it didn't work out in the end.

Behavioral

The interview was recorded on MSTeams, and I just had to answer questions. There wasn't a panel, and it was only about 5 minutes long, which felt pretty strange. I'm not sure if it's a good approach; it might be convenient for the interviewers, but it's not ideal for the candidate who doesn't get any feedback or a chance to ask questions.

Behavioral Technical

You'll do an online personality test and answer some questions. They want to know more about you, why you think you'd be good for the job, and if you know about the machinery of government.
