Behavioral
They set up a virtual interview since I was an out-of-state applicant. It was known that I was out-of-state because they asked me questions about it. The next day I was told they were looking for someone in the area, and the assumption was that I was a local candidate, despite them asking questions about it during the interview. They might waste your time.

Behavioral Technical Group
The first interview was with the HR director, who conducted a relaxed, personal interview to understand me better. Then, I was given a written test for vocabulary, spelling, and proofreading, which took about 20-30 minutes. I advanced to the second round, a panel interview with some of the secretaries I would work with. I didn't get an offer because they thought I was overqualified and would get bored, but it worked out because they offered me a better-paying job they felt was a better fit.

Behavioral Technical
I had 7 Zoom interviews total, with 2 interviewers in each. They were really nice and seemed more focused on getting to know me as a person rather than diving deep into my work experience. They asked about my hobbies, if I'm into community service, what sports I'm involved in, and generally just wanted to see if I'm an interesting person.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Were there any questions that were specific to your resume, particularly about your interests rather than your work history?
