"Hi Suity, we want a burger flipper. Please could you tell us why you think you would make a good burger flipper."
20 minutes of me waffling on trying to say the right things, with no idea what they are looking for exactly.

40 minutes after the scheduled time we got underway with a very sincere apology.
I seem to have passed the first round and will be invited to their head office for a second round interview and technical test some time next week.
