First interview: Usually starts with a 1-on-1 with the hiring manager. They ask about your qualifications, skills, work history, and experience. Second interview: After the first in-person one, meetings get more in-depth to check out a few candidates and see who's really in contention. Sometimes it's with the same interviewer, other times it's a full day with multiple people like execs, staff, and supervisors.
