Behavioral Presentation
I was contacted via email and then we scheduled the interview. The position was international, so a minimum level of English was required, and consequently, the interview was in English. Even though I don't have total command of the language, the interviewer was extremely understanding and attentive, and also gave complete feedback after the interview (during the call) and via email (with more details).
