Hello, Thank you for reaching out via Glassdoor. Yes, we try to keep our process as concise as possible. Because we don't require prior experience, our interview focuses more on your background, motivations, and understanding of your work ethic. To answer your questions regarding "What are some skills from your past experience that you think would help you in this role?" a good understanding and project experience in Java or other OOO languages are ideal. Clear examples of your knowledge, project experience, and leadership ability are crucial during an interview. The STAR method can be an ideal way to relay these examples and can relay a clear connection between your capabilities and employers' needs. Warm Regards, Steve Ramos [He, Him, His] Talent Manager - US Tech stramos@wileyedge.com
