Phone Interview, basic questions for college grads regarding programming languages. Prepare OOPs concepts, databases, software testing, design and basic troubleshooting. 30 - 40 min of interview.

The interview was very smooth, it was behavioral questions and I had to use the STAR method to answer them. It was not overwhelming, it only lasted about 30-40 mins, about 4 questions, the person that interviewed me seemed calm, patient, and showed me that she loves where works!
