Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What kind of work you do at your current job, why are you applying
Straight forward and easy. Ask me about why I want the job and how would I handle client if I had to go out there independently. Only 15 min meeting and ask me to wait for next round.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Smartgroup in Jul 2024
Interview
Overall, it's a joke - I was supplied a technical JD, and the interview was scheduled for 30 mins. The guy was fully repaired to reject me (possibly conflict of interests - wanted his people?) - he started asking stuff which was not in JD nor in my profile. What a waste of time.
