Behavioral Technical Presentation
The hiring process began with an online application and a referral from a family friend. This was followed by a phone screening and two in-person interviews. Despite positive feedback during the second interview regarding my qualifications and skills, and assurances that I was a valuable candidate, I ultimately received a rejection. The recruiter was unresponsive to my follow-up calls and emails, and the final rejection came via an automated email. Information from my friend within the company suggested the rejection was due to my perceived quietness.

I first had a phone call with the recruiting team. Then, I came in for a skills and personality test, and a 1:1 with a supervisor. The questions were really good and made me think. After that, I had a second interview with the department manager. They clearly explained my expected duties in each interview and fully answered all my questions. A few days later, I got the job offer and accepted it.
