Question 1
What was something you did to challenge yourself and get out of your comfort zone?
This interview was for a short term contract role, so the interview process was different than what I would expect for an FTE role. It was a one hour video call with the hiring manager, which was fine. They never bothered to followed up to confirm they weren't moving forward.
