Behavioral Presentation
I went through three interviews, and then I was told the company had restructured. They offered me to apply for this position, which was much lower. When I got to my fourth interview, the interviewer, who was new to me, said he hadn't read my resume. He then gave me ten minutes to talk about whatever I wanted. That was the entire interview.

First, there was a phone chat with the hiring manager, followed by a Skype chat with three team members. It was a pretty standard interview, so you have to be ready but no questions were too out there.

Behavioral
The Technical Director reached out to me for an interview. It was pretty casual. He asked about my fabrication background, my carpentry abilities, and any theatre experience I had. He also wanted to know what tools I knew how to use. He gave me a quick rundown of the job, and then that was it. The very next time he called, he let me know I got the job.

- Can you tell me about your previous carpentry experience?
