Behavioral Technical
The process involved an initial conversation and then a telephone follow-up. I found the reason for rejection to be quite vague: they indicated they were looking for someone who would be "more pliable" and more "emotionally open", without connecting this concretely to job requirements or examples from the first conversation. When I asked for more details, I didn't receive clear, measurable points for improvement.

The interview with the manager and a direct colleague was pleasant and open. Both sides had an honest conversation, and we concluded that the role wasn't the best fit for my profile. Despite this, I found the process very positive and left with a good feeling.
