Being informed by HR to meet with the hiring manager directly, have to be wait a bit for the hiring manager. Then chat with the manager about yourself and how can you contribute to the company.
The initial screen was on Zoom. The interviewer asked about my skills within this role, my past experiences, and some technical questions. I was asked to rate my skills in different areas such as speaking, programming, and finance.
Before the interview, I made sure my resume was updated and I spent time on preparation and practice. I knew there would be questions about my background, skills, strengths, and weaknesses, so I tried to have clear answers ready. During the conversation I focused on confidence, good body language, and eye contact to make a strong first impression. I had researched the company, thought about my career goals, and tried to show a professional attitude. Afterward, I sent a follow-up email to thank them for the opportunity and ask for feedback.
