Process

Skype interview with HR person, first round after CV screening. Questions were asked somewhat randomly, so the conversation wasn't very fluid. The HR representative didn't seem to be from the field, took extensive notes, and mentioned she would pass them on to another person. I was told I would be notified in 2-3 weeks.
