It was a conversational interview where they asked about my background, my understanding of the position, and my post-graduation plans. The recruiter wanted to ensure I understood the role well. It felt very relaxed. The interviewer said there would be a second interview but then ghosted me.

I was contacted by a Talent Sourcer on Linkedin about the Sales Engineer position. We arranged a phone call, and it was a 30-minute discussion covering my current job, what makes me want to move, why I'm looking to leave, and my salary expectations. I also had the chance to ask some questions about the role, and they were answered well. It was a really nice chat. A week later, I got an email saying they were moving forward with other candidates.
