Interview
Completed a written test that was a 2 part essay questions. After that I was reached out by an HR Rep who informed me that I was chosen for a verbal interview via Zoom that was scheduled for several weeks later. There were 3 individuals at the interview, department Manager, department Director and a Technical Officer.

Interview
I applied for a job with the AMR Stewardship and Awareness Unit, took a written test and passed on to the interview stage. The interview was really disappointing. Maybe it's because it's the big "WHO," the interviewer behaved like he was god and was so arrogant! He was rude and kept interrupting my answers, acted condescending and seemed incredulous that I wanted to ask ANY questions about the position. He didn't seem to understand that interviewing is a two-way street, and that candidates are also assessing the employer when they go for these interviews, to judge whether they'd truly want to work there. This was hands down one of the worst interviewing experiences I've ever had (and that's saying something)! In the end, the interviewer did me a favor because he showed clearly what a nightmare he would been to work for!
