The process included an initial recruiter call where they provided context about job expectations and the company culture. This was followed by a great interview session, then a straightforward discussion with HR. They were honest and gave feedback throughout. Overall, it was a bit more traditional than expected, but they set expectations clearly ahead of time.

Behavioral Technical

The interview was really hard for me, but I gave it my best shot to answer it well and make a good impression. I handle tough situations by being empathetic and really listening to people. For instance, when a customer wasn't happy with where they were staying, I set up a meeting to hear them out and then gave them a free upgrade. This fixed the problem and made our relationship even better.
