Behavioral
The 10-minute interview validation call was pretty chill, more like a chat than a formal interview. They really dug into what was on my CV, asking specific details about projects, the tough parts, and how I got through them. They seemed really interested in the background of my past jobs, the skills I used, and what happened as a result. They asked more questions to really get a feel for how I solve problems, work with others, and adjust to different things. This relaxed chat let me talk easily about my background and give a full picture of my work history. Basically, the validation call was for them to check my CV and see if I really knew my stuff and could handle real problems.
