Interview
Very easy , interviewing was via zoom . Shared previous experience and skills . Interview only lasted about 30 minutes . Didn’t feel like I was being sold a dream about the expectations or pay .
Short, quick, personable and exciting so you can't gauge how they feel. That said, very easy and fast process, does not require much preparation, just make sure you can pitch yourself well.
