Interview
very casual virtual interview for covid. contacted about a week in advance to set up my interview. day of my interview there was a 15 min pre-brief where a recruiter talked to a group of 6 of us who were about to interview. we all introduced ourselves. first interview was scheduled to be 45 min but lasted about 30 for me. it was with an operations manager and he didn't ask many follow up questions. second interview was about the same length with a logistics manager from a delivery center who asked lots of follow up questions. both had the same type of behavioral questions ("tell me about a time when...") that are supposed to be answer in STAR format. only asked about 4 questions each and lots of time to ask your own questions at the end. also one situational question
