Interview
I was sent an email to schedule an interview a few weeks after I applied. They also had a case question over the phone (which I wasn't prepared for). It would have been better if they told me about that ahead of time but I guess that's part of their process.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself and why you're interested in the role.
recruiter may sound professional, but they are not. It's perfectly fine to tell the interviewer the truth, such as where you are not good enough, or that we require relocate, rather than tell them that you will schedule the next interview so that they look forward to it, then hang up the phone and send them a rejection letter.
