Behavioral

Had one 30 min video interview. Mostly behavioral stuff. They asked me to walk through my resume, talk about past jobs and projects. After the interview, I got ranked and ranked the employer back, then we got matched.

Behavioral Technical Coding

It was a video call with a behavioural interview and some technical questions about HTML, CSS, and Javascript. It was pretty conversational, and they also asked about teamwork.

Behavioral Group Presentation

They ask you a lot of scenario based questions and that's mostly it. You could have multiple people interviewing you at once so make sure you know how to address multiple people in an interview while answering the question that is posed to you. Another thing is they offer you food. GRAB SOME! don't be shy. The work environment, if you get the job you'll learn is great and filled with people that want to support you. Perhaps go through some scenario questions. Ask yourself how you multitask. How you work in teams, how you take notes. I personally feel like employers can tell when you're making up a story. So be yourself. I know its cliche but it's so true.
