I had a 45-minute first round interview where the interviewer was very friendly and mainly asked about my direct service experience. I didn't hear back, but I also didn't follow up for an update.

Technical Presentation
I got my certification and then interviewed via email. After that, I met the employer in person at their Long Island City office. I then underwent several training sessions focused on tax claims before I started preparing tax returns on my own.

So, the first thing was this FaceTime interview. I was supposed to have an in-person one after that but it got canceled because someone had a conflict. They said they'd reschedule but never did. I wasn't sure it was a good fit anyway, so I didn't bother following up. The interview itself was pretty standard, you know, the questions and how it all went down. I spoke with two staff members during that first interview.
