Application Submission: The first step is applying for the job. This usually involves submitting a resume and a cover letter through the employer's website, a job board, or via email. Some organizations may also require completing an online application form. Screening Call or Email: If your application catches the interest of the hiring team, the next step is usually a screening call or email. This is often conducted by someone from HR or a recruiter to verify your qualifications, availability, and sometimes to discuss salary expectations. This is also an opportunity for you to ask preliminary questions about the role or company. First Interview: This can be a one-on-one interview with the hiring manager or a panel interview involving multiple people from the organization, often including team members and other stakeholders. The first interview usually covers your background, skills, experience, and fit for the company culture. This interview can be conducted over the phone, via video conference, or in-person.
