The Talent Acquisition team mainly asked about my background and professional experience to assess whether my skills and experience matched the job requirements. Although there was initially a gap between my expected salary and the budget, they were still willing to work with me to find the best possible offer. The Hiring Manager focused more on my technical expertise, communication skills, and previous work experience. They asked how my background aligned with what they were looking for and reviewed my portfolio to better understand my creative and strategic capabilities. The conversation was friendly, open, and non-judgmental.
