The interview process involved a mix of technical and behavioral questions. It focused on my comfort level with job aspects that are unusual for individuals not from an agriculture background. They also assessed how well I could handle my responsibilities and integrate into the team.
- What makes you want this role, and why are you a good match?
- What's your motivation for this position and your suitability for it?

It was a virtual interview, kind of casual, we asked each other questions. We discussed my past experiences, my qualifications, and the subject matter. I felt really comfortable and it all worked out fine. Just relax and be yourself.
- Can you tell me about your previous experience?
Intern
I had a one-on-one chat with the department manager. They gave me a quick tour of the place before I accepted the offer. The manager was cool about my start date and let me have a week off before I began.
