Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you had to adapt and pivot quickly.
The interview was done online. The director talked to me and asked about my skills, background, and what they were looking for. Unfortunately, I lack the experience they desire. No offer or follow up.
Director was honest about the position and asked meaningful questions related to the job, its perks, benefits, and daily duty. Nice and friendly, no pressure ever felt. It was a smooth experience for me.
