Technical Presentation Behavioral
The first step involved a technical test, which I had to complete before the video call interview. This test covered my sector knowledge and required me to create a brief slide presentation with my recommendations for the stakeholders I'd be working with. They also asked for an example of a tool I previously designed for the community. These materials needed to be sent back two days before the interview. The interview itself was with three team members. They presented me with hypothetical scenarios the hired consultant might face and asked for my approach.

Behavioral Presentation
I applied for the job and about a week later, they sent over a request for a financial proposal detailing my services and costs. Following that, they set up a phone interview for about a week later, which was today. The interview itself was super short, only 15 minutes long, and I spoke with a panel of 4 people. They mentioned there would be no more interview rounds and they'd make a decision within the next couple of weeks.
