Interview
I applied online. The recruiter got to me fairly soon <5 days and screened me with interview questions. I then interviewed with the manager next week Monday via Teams where she really got into the details of the role. She was great. Wasn't awkward, but really seemed to be pushing for someone who really knows Excel. Come knowing your books of course.
