I went to a career fair at my college and gave them my resume. They scheduled an in-person interview.
The interview was mostly behavioral, with questions about working in groups, how I have dealt with challenges among group members, and my perceived verbal and writing communication skills. They also asked if I have used oscilloscopes and multimeters.
The only technical questions asked were about my understanding of DC coupling and what I think an embedded system is.
Within two to three weeks, I received a phone call from an HR recruiter stating I got the job. They then sent an email with the details, including instructions to fill out an application and background check information. I received the official offer and accepted it.
Overall, it was a very simple and easy process.
It's hard to remember, and I don't know if I even understood it at the time, but it was something like this:
You are at a party, and there are five other people. There are seven hats: 2 blue, 2 white, and 3 red. Everyone is wearing a hat, including you. You can see everyone else's hat, but not your own. What color hat are you wearing?
