The recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn, gave me a job description and ask if I interested. Then we arranged the phone call.
The first phone call was a screening interview. The recruiter asks my background, especially what I do. He did dig on my projects to find if I code or not. I did say I am able to code but with a help of documentation. Anyway, the first stage was so smooth, warm, and welcoming. He gave the detail of relocation package: the HQ, salary, live in Amsterdam, the relocation process and perks, which is very desirable for young hybrid-designer. We did make an appointment for our second phone call which (he didn't mentioned on the phone but describe in the relocation package document) is a technical phone call.
Personal statement: During this time, I found that Glassdoor helped me a lot. I read the others' reviews and found that they really need the one who can do advanced coding (which I am not), but my thought was I have a willing to go for this challenge anyway.
Before the second interview, the recruiter sent me a coding challenge, which I was not passed the test. I can say that it will be easy if you are A FULL-STACK WEB DESIGNER or A FRONT END DEVELOPER. The fundamental knowledge or the primary skill in HTML and CSS do not help unless you have been through a lot of practices and projects. This test needed to be complete in 30 mins without any help from the others, books, etc.
Obviously, I have hot make it to 2nd stage with I feel a bit sorry because I have prepared for demonstrating my actual skills (design thinking and digital commerce knowledge). My opinion is Booking was looking for the FULL STACK E-COMMERCE UX WHATEVER. Which is if you are, just apply to the website.
For me, the process of preparation of this interview lifted me up into another level. I have done a lot of homework on the market and self-reflection including decisions. I have learnt many important things.
Thanks to the community in the Glassdoor for being such very helpful.
