Interview
I found it quite challenging to communicate in English with the Eastern European interviewer. Throughout the conversation, I had to repeat myself multiple times to clarify my points, and even then, I often felt that my explanations were not fully understood. This made it difficult to convey my thought process clearly, especially when describing the steps I took.
