Behavioral
This involves behavioural interviews with about 2-3 interviewers, normally done online. The interviewers are nice but keep things formal and stick to their prepared questions, which are like 'tell me about a time when...'. It's good to prepare using the STAR method for this type of interview.

Behavioral
I interviewed for the HR Assistant role and it was a professional experience. They didn't really explain the next steps or the overall process. I didn't get the job, and the interviewer offered to connect with feedback. I said I'd like that and asked to schedule a time to chat, but then they ghosted me. It's a bit frustrating if they offer feedback but don't follow through. The interview itself was good, just a bit of a snag at the end.
