A little thrown off: hiring manager reached out on linkedin asking if I'd be interested in a role. I obviously thought first would be a recruiter screening but turned out it was a zoom interview with the HM herself. I was not prepared at all, had only prepped for basic HR/why this company questions. Longest half hour in my life. At the end she asked me the typical HR/visa/salary req q's as well, it seems like she is doing everything for recruiting. Is this bizarre or just me

Zoetis?

Strange! But i guess it happens. Good luck though, hope you did fine still 🤞

I reached out to a couple of people for interviews, they didnt expect to talk to me first either.

I wanted to stteamline the process but realized it wasn't as helpful as I thought 🤣

Maybe your HM is doing the first hiring round ever like I am.
