[TOC] Interview experience - got the job!

🎯 Interview Experiences

Just wanted to share my recent TOC interview experience - and the good news that I got the job!

The format:

  • Introduction from the team (3 managers)
  • Presentation about the company and role
  • Competency-based interview (about 45 mins)
  • Scenario questions
  • Chance to ask questions

Questions I got:

  • Tell us about a time you had to make a difficult decision under pressure
  • How do you ensure safety in your work?
  • Describe a situation where you had to work with someone you found difficult

My advice: be honest, use STAR method, and don't be afraid to ask for clarification if you don't understand a question.

Good luck to everyone still in the process!
