Behavioral Case

The interview was with the department manager and lasted about 45 minutes. It didn't involve technical questions, focusing more on my CV and general case studies. I heard back about two weeks later and was told I didn't get the position because I was a first-year master's student.

Behavioral

I was contacted by someone on LinkedIn for an interview. After that initial chat, I didn't hear back. It was a one-on-one meeting, and the questions were logical and standard. I also had another interview that was arranged through my university. However, I haven't heard anything back from that one either. This second interview was with two people and only lasted about 10 minutes, so it was very quick. I haven't received any updates from either of these opportunities.
