Question 1
We love a creative side, can you tell me about a time when you have been innovative? What were you solving for? How did you go about doing it? What challenges did you face and how did you manage them ?
First round with HR, went great. Sadly wasn’t a fit, but they got back to me the day after my interview. Mind you, they also called me a day after I applied (I assume that’s because of my referral and they have to speak to us?). All their HR staff have been fantastic.
