Behavioral Other

There were 3 interviews in total. The first one was a phone call with the recruiter, mainly to talk about salary and the job. Then, there was a second interview over Zoom with a panel of 3 people. This one involved behavioral questions and also questions about my resume and what a typical day would look like. I was supposed to have a third interview in person, but it didn't happen.

Behavioral Technical

I had a panel interview with the hiring manager and some accounting managers. It was pretty informal. They asked me questions about my background and how I could do the job. I've used C.A.R. and S.T.A.R. methods before, so this wasn't too hard. Looking back, formal interviews might be better for companies to pick the right people.
