Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Qual sua experiencia e quanto tempo de experiencia trabalhando na area.
I was refered their service in the middle of the interview process. The question started out awkward asking what project I have been working on lately, which I didn't particulary think it's related to the subject matter. I would preferred it to be worded differently, less personal is preferable. I do not particularly like the mannerism that I was asked whether or not if I am looking for a marketing professional in the middle of our review. I don't really think it's professional.
