After an initial interview at the recruiting event in our school, I was asked to have a second interview at the office. They interviewers were very friendly. I presented my portfolio and talked about my interests. Then they gave me some useful information about the office and gave me a tour.

During the Gensler prescreen, the recruiter primarily confirmed my basic information, including my current location, graduation date, visa status, and whether I would require company support for OPT or other work authorization. They also asked about my interest in the position I applied for, my openness to other related roles, and my potential start date. The prescreen did not cover my portfolio or technical skills; it mainly focused on gathering background information to determine whether to move forward to the next stage of interviews.
