Application Submission: You start by submitting your application, which typically includes your resume, cover letter, and sometimes additional materials like a portfolio or references. This is often done through an online application system. Initial Screening: After reviewing applications, some companies might conduct an initial screening, which could involve a phone call or a brief video interview to assess your qualifications and fit for the role. First Interview (Phone/Video): If you pass the initial screening, you might have a more in-depth interview with a recruiter or HR representative. This could be a phone or video call and may involve discussing your background, skills, and motivations.
