The interview process covered a wide range of topics in an attempt to get the best match for both myself and the company. Interview questions revolved around culture fit, team fit, work experience match, attitude, values and potential.

One of the key themes throughout the interview process was validating my HR knowledge through a mix of situational and behavioral questions. I was asked to walk through specific scenarios—such as how I’ve approached organizational change, supported leadership during times of uncertainty, or handled sensitive employee relations matters. These questions weren’t just surface-level—they really allowed me to demonstrate my thought process, strategic mindset, and ability to apply HR principles in complex, real-world situations. I appreciated that the questions were both practical and aligned with the kind of work LLS values—thoughtful, mission-driven, and people-centered.
