Question 1
What's an example of a difficult situation you've had to overcome?
Interview questions were asked from a standard corporate packet. Pretty mundane questions about your past work experiences and what you view as your strengths and weaknesses. Since it’s a junior position, there was only one manager at the interview. Notified by HR within a week that I got the job.
