Behavioral Technical
After I submitted my application, I got an email asking me to interview. The first interview was a video call where they told me about the job and asked about my experience. It wasn't super technical, just to see if I was interested and comfortable in a lab. The second interview was a lab walkthrough, giving more details about the job and how things work. This one wasn't too technical either, but I think I showed I was qualified by the questions I asked and by paying attention.
