As part of the hiring process, I had to prepare a case study in advance. They sent me all the information I needed, and I had some time to work on it before the interview. I made sure to go through everything carefully and put together a clear and thoughtful answer based on what they were asking for. After I submitted the case study, I went to an in-person interview with the managers. I presented what I had worked on, explained my thinking, and answered some follow-up questions. We also talked about my past experience, what I’m good at, and how I could fit into their team. The managers were friendly and asked good questions, and I also got to ask about the company and the role.

Had CV in talent pipeline, and received a call out of nowhere. Went to the interview, and had a pleasant experience. Couple of days later i am informed that they had an internal candidate lined up all along, and did not get the job
