I applied for a coordinator role in HR/People Ops at a company I found on LinkedIn around 4 am. To my surprise, I received an email from a recruiter just four hours later, at 8 am, asking to schedule a screening call. This is my first time going through an interview screening process, and I honestly expected to wait weeks or even months for a response, likely leading to a rejection. The job posting has been up for about a month, and only 20 people have applied, which makes me feel a bit more hopeful since I noticed there were only 6 applicants when I submitted my application. I'm trying to pivot into a corporate role after spending the last two years working part-time in public-facing positions. Now, I'm wondering what to expect from this screening call. I've read that it usually lasts about 20 to 30 minutes and serves as a fit check rather than a final interview. I need to prepare a brief introduction that ties my experience in public roles to the responsibilities in People Ops, like managing sensitive information and staying organized. I'm feeling a mix of excitement and nerves about this opportunity.
