Behavioral
I applied for an office position I saw posted, and then got called back for a summer role. The interview had the manager and an advisor. It was pretty chill, but I dressed up anyway. They seemed to like my answers, smiling and laughing. The interview wasn't technical or super hard, mostly about why I wanted the job, schedule flexibility, organization, and office-related people skills.

Technical Behavioral
The interview was pretty long, around 45 minutes. They asked really specific and technical questions instead of general ones like 'tell me about yourself'. I thought it was way too hard for the job.
