Interview questions from the hiring manager felt vague and didn't effectively assess technical skills. Tell me about your previous work experience Have you worked on Workday implementations or post-production support? Can you describe a recent project and your specific role in it? Why are you interested in this opportunity? Are you open to a hybrid or on-site work model? (3 days in-office) What are your salary expectations?
