Question 1
Tell me about a difficult situation at work and how did you handle it
Was genuinely excited about the opportunity to interview for a corporate role, but the experience was disappointing. The interview didn’t cover my work experience at all and instead included comments that felt personal and inappropriate for a professional setting. First impressions matter, and this interaction gave me clarity about the company’s culture. In hindsight, I see it as a positive outcome — it felt like dodging a bullet
