Behavioral
It was pretty easy, mostly focused on my past experience, when I could work, and my general personality. They said it's good to meet in person for the interview and to give them a face to the name. It also helps to know about the company's history, their clothing tech, and their popular items.

Technical Behavioral Case
The whole process usually has a few steps. First, there's a quick chat to see if you're basically qualified. Then, you'll likely have a few longer interviews with the people who would be your boss or colleagues. They'll want to talk about your skills, how you solve problems, and if you'd fit in with the team. Sometimes, you might get a practical task or a case study to work on. Usually, they'll check your references before making a final decision. It's important for everyone to communicate well and be prepared during this time.
