The interview process usually consists of several stages designed to assess both your skills and fit with the company: Application & Screening You submit your resume and cover letter. The HR or recruitment team screens applications to shortlist candidates whose qualifications match the role. Initial Interview / Phone Screen A brief call or video chat with HR or recruiter to discuss your background, motivation, and verify basic qualifications. Sometimes they also ask about salary expectations and availability. Technical / Role-Specific Interview You may meet with the hiring manager or team members to discuss your experience in detail, solve work-related problems, or complete a task relevant to the role. This could include situational or behavioral questions. Assessment / Case Study / Test (if applicable) Some companies require candidates to complete practical exercises, case studies, or skills tests to evaluate your abilities more directly. Final Interview / Culture Fit Interview Often with senior management or HR, this interview explores how well you align with the company values and team culture.
