The interview was mostly standard questions that didn't really get into skills or prompt a conversation about the job or my past work. I didn't get a chance to find out more about the role, what's expected, or who's on the team.

So I applied for this job, it was a contractor role with USAID. I had two interviews with the company that provides the contractors, and then one final interview with USAID itself. The first was basically an HR screen, the second was with some of the folks from the contracting company, and the last one was with three people from USAID.
