HireVue explains, "All candidates applying to a position will receive the same set of questions, selected by the hiring company. Additionally, HireVue takes measures to prevent candidates from seeing these interview questions before they are taking an interview. These measures ensure that each candidate has the same amount of time to review the questions, and prepare their responses, giving all candidates the same interview experience and an equal shot at putting their best foot forward."

I am very much interested in exploring the fields of data engineering and data science. And I would like to move into leadership positions in these fields to provide the best data-driven services to clients. Also, I am interested in working in different countries and exploring their cultures. So, I hope working for a global company like BAE Systems could provide me with travel opportunities further down the line.
