There was a Covid Test before entering. I waited with other candidates for the interview. It took 2 months to know if I got the job. Questions can not be asked in any other way. You can have the question repeated as many times as you want.

The interview had about 6 questions. They sent some study material beforehand. Then, they asked if I had a closing statement, and if I had any questions. After that, I took a writing, spelling, and grammar test where I had to summarize some information. About two months later, I was called for a drug test, and then got the job offer two days after that.

It was a quick interview, under 10 minutes, with other people applying for the same job. One manager led the interview, but another manager was also there and took notes on paper while the questions were being asked. They only asked 4 questions, which didn't really give me a chance to describe what a typical workday would be like.
