First interview is done with HR and is more about “tell about yourself” and why L’Oréal and which role do you want. The person responsible for the interview asked things from the beginning of my career, not related to the job.
The interview was professional and focused heavily on my practical experience. I was asked to explain my previous projects in detail, including the specific outcomes and my individual contributions.
