I had initially applied for another position. It was a phone call followed by a teams meeting a few days later. I reached out a few weeks after that interview to the internal recruiter. Although I had been rejected, she forwarded my resume to another recruiter who set up an interview with a manager. For a company to do that is amazing especially in this day and age for them to go above and beyond for their candidates.
I had a great interview. Conversational like the first one. It went over my background, asked a bit about me, she told me to explain one of my projects and how and why I did it. She seemed very impressed with it and the call ended on a good note. Two weeks later I received an official offer letter.
