it was okay. very relaxed conversation with a couple manager took 25 mins. it was a comfortable experience and it enjoyed the conversation. They explain the role well what is expected of you and all
The interview happens not too long. At first I am not asked to bring a passport so I had to rescheduled the interview to the next day. Then in the next day they said my position had been full and asked if I want another position. The interview started. The manager asks me personal questions and situations for me to handle.
