The interview process usually has a few steps to check out your background, skills, and if you're a good fit. First, you submit your resume or CV. Then, there's an initial screening, which is a quick phone or video call with HR or a recruiter to chat about your qualifications, what you expect for salary, and when you can start.

Behavioral Technical
I was interviewed by four people, who were part of the team who wanted the assistant. They seemed fairly new in the interview process, as the questions were phrased awkwardly and seemed to go like "Are you willing to do ___" instead of asking about previous experiences. I still tried to crowbar in relevant experience to the position though just to make sure to make note that I was qualified.

- Do you have any vacation plans?
