      Interview

      I applied online, and had an initial virtual interview with the recruiter, and then an interview with the hiring manager. I didn't quite have enough Kubernetes knowledge to be able to proceed further, unfortunately.

      Now let’s say we’re only interested in males from Toronto between the ages of 30 and 40.
