Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - The first round of interviews was conducted virtually and initially went well; however, when I inquired about my role in the middle of the conversation, the call ended abruptly. A second virtual round was scheduled for a week later, and I even received a reminder for it, but no one joined the call.
