I applied online. A recruiter contacted me after three weeks . The first interview with the recruiter is very nice. Most of the questions were "HR questions" such as "Are you willing to relocate?" "When will you be available?" She also asked me to talk a little bit about myself, why I am interested in this position, and so on. She introduced the program and the team to me. One week after this phone screening, she emailed me and set up an interview for me with a UX researcher at Facebook.
My second interview was a very bad experience. I was told it would be a video conference interview and they even provided me a "testing channel", so I prepared accordingly. However, at the interview, the interviewer did not turn on her camera, but I had already turned on mine, so she could see me, I could not see her but I could see myself. It was just very unnatural and uncomfortable. The worse thing was that this interviewer had not read my resume at all. I could absolutely tell that for the questions she asked. She kept asking me to give examples in my previous work/experience where I blablabla (they were not behavioral-based questions). Then she asked "Give me an example where you used the research method you are best at and made a great contribution to the whole project." I would say this question did not apply to me at all. First, I was still in school, I did not have much work experience. Second, the position I applied for is called "UX research associate" and it is basically still a training program (as described in the JD).
The recruiter told me they had decided to move forward with other candidates about three weeks after that interview.
