Behavioral Presentation

Got referred by a former colleague. Reached out to the hiring manager directly with my resume. After some email exchanges, the recruiter got in touch to schedule in-person interviews and set up my travel since I was coming from out of state. The whole scheduling and recruiting thing was super smooth, and the recruiter was really helpful with any questions I had. I ended up meeting with six different people over two days, and they even took me out to lunch on the first day.
