Question 1
Describe a time when you worked with a difficult teammate.
The recruiter rescheduled the initial screening call twice and canceled 15 minutes before my second phone interview due to "restructuring the role." I never heard back after that, but the process seemed very disorganized.

Question 1
How have you used data to inform marketing strategies?
Not great - received an email from the recruiter asking some questions. Then never hear back, no feedback or response after sending another email following up. Applied after to another open role, never heard anything. Connected with the recruiter on LinkedIn and asked about the process and received no response.
