The interview was a Zoom phone call, which was a bit strange but it worked out okay. It felt like they were looking for someone who didn't have any outside interests or activities for this role. Even though agriculture is a job with demanding seasons, it seemed like they preferred candidates who focused solely on work and didn't have other pursuits.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • Can you handle working in a fast-paced environment?
  • Do you have hobbies or other activities outside of work?
  • Given agriculture's seasonal demands, would you be able to prioritize work over other activities?
