Tell me about recent job?

Interview Details Applied online. Got an email inviting me for a phone interview. Did the phone interview. Got an email for a face to face interview. Did that and got hired.

Interview Details First, there was a phone interview where the recruiter asked general behavioral questions. About a week later, I was invited to an interview in Dallas at their headquarters. This interview was with the same recruiter on the phone, as well as two managers. I was asked pretty much the same questions I was asked in the phone interview. When I was called back to be notified that I didn't get the internship, the recruiter let me know that it was because my interests did not seem to coincide with the position.

Interview Details Basic Situational type of interview, name a time you gave great customer service etc.

Negotiation Details – They will pay for some experience but basically start out under 15.00/hr for a supervisor.

Interview Details Received call to set up a phone interview with a specific recruiter. He called me at the designated time. Asked very specific questions. Everything was to do with internal audit, no personality or behavior questions were asked. It is a very competitve internship. I ultimately recieved a personal email from the recruiter that they had gone with someone else.

Interview Details phone interview, followed with 2:1 interview, then after that was a panel interview with all the regional managers. the last step in the process was a skills test of a project given to us on the ability to maximize revenue.

Negotiation Details – not much was involved. I told them the avg. starting salary for my major from my school.

Interview Details Got a call about an open position in the supply chain department. Had a simple phone interview discussing your resume. Scheduled an in person interview. Southwest Airlines flew me out to Dallas the next week. Had an interview with my supervisor and a mentor, all were very friendly. Offered me the position as I walked out the door. Really good experience everyone was very friendly.

Negotiation Details – No negotiations for internships

Interview Details I applied for a position online and a recruiter contacted me within the week. The recruiter was very friendly, helpful, and really made me feel like he was on my side as well as ensuring the position was a good match. I was asked to come in for a interview the next week.
The interview was an hour and consisted of the manager who I'd be working for and the recruiter. The interview was involved a case study, which I had not expected at all, to see how I would work through a problem. Unfortunately, the hiring was put on hold and so they stopped the interview process. I kept up with the recruiter who in a few weeks contacted me for a similar opening. What a great resource!

Interview Details Personality/honesty test is the key. SWA says that all other skills can be trained. They are looking for Your Mom.

Negotiation Details – There is no negotiation for new employees. Union rules and contract are communicated. What they don't tell is that employees are penalized in their performance metrics for using the sick days they promote as one of their benefits.
