I was called on the phone where they asked if I would be interested even though the pay was low since Bethesda, MD is one of the U.S. most expensive places to live. They told me about the job and asked me if I was interested and capable of doing the job. Then came the 1:1 interview where aspects of my resume and experience were explained and the job was explained in more detail. Then I got the job offer 1 week later.
