They asked me in the interview, why I wanted to become a graduate candidate. It was one of the main questions, focusing on my motivation, academic goals, and future career development.

Question 1
I explained that I wanted to become a graduate candidate to develop my professional skills, gain advanced knowledge, and prepare myself for future career opportunities within the company.
They have an online interview and proficiency test, I failed at either of them, so I could not get to the 2 physical interviews. They asked about my passion and why shell?
