Process
It was a phone interview.
The interviewer was not a technical engineer but an HR representative.
He asked some general questions and focused on my resume, raising some points.
The HR seemed to have little interest in my resume.
He ended the interview in 20 minutes.
Many classmates also had this interview opportunity, and most of them failed.
