Behavioral Technical
I was contacted by an in-house recruiter at Zola Registry for a remote interview. The process started with a phone screen and then a 45-minute technical interview. This was my first technical interview, and I felt unprepared for the questions. I also felt the recruiter didn't provide much guidance on what to expect. After interviewing with other companies, I realized that recruiters usually do a better job of informing candidates about the interview structure.
