Interview
Messaged the CEO on LinkedIn (Curate Well is a startup, so it's easy to just get in touch with the CEO). We set up a Zoom call for about an hour. We just discussed the role and the kind of work it would entail. I was asked about my major, my career aspirations, etc. I believe the interview was solely to gauge personality. I never heard back.
Interview Questions
The most difficult parts of the interview was just trying to figure out how to talk about my resume without coming across as arrogant, but still trying to sound impressive.

It needs to explain duration and prepayment activity...But, the interviewer was very nice and told me it was ok that you did not know the answer.

It was fairly smooth. Did not take a lot of effort because it was mostly revolving around fit. Although I would definitely be prepared for some technicals.
Interview Questions
How many pizzas would it take from Earth to the Moon? This was tough because it was completely off the wall. It was hard to estimate but if you think about it the distance from here to the moon is say 5 miles, each pizza is around 1 foot in diameter and each mile is 5280 feet so if you break it down and add to mileage then it is very simple. You have to make sure that you explain all of your steps to the interviewing party (pretty much always a Vice President or Managing Director) because thought process is what matters.
