During the initial phone screening, the recruiter described the role and asked about my salary expectations. Since this was a contractor position, she advised that I should ask for more in case I needed to take time off, since I wouldn't get paid time off. She also described the interview process and set up an online interview with the manager that same week. After the interview, she followed up with me, provided feedback, and offered me the position. Overall, it was a smooth process, and I was grateful for her guidance.
