Question 1
Aspire program, they ask you a lot of things to see how you think rather than what your past accomplishments are, because they know you don't necessarily have much experience.
One round screen with HR then with hiring manager - went over resume and fit + some easy technical questions on experience + prior experience. Panel interview last filled with a board of varied backgorund.

Question 1
scenario based questions are more in the discussion
I had a 1-hour technical interview with a panel of three interviewers. The atmosphere was friendly and conversational. The interview did not dive deep into architecture or highly technical troubleshooting. Instead, it mainly focused on conceptual questions related to Microsoft 365 / Office 365 products and how the different services work together.
