      Buyer Interview

      Sep 28, 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Blue Ash, OH
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Kroger (Blue Ash, OH) in Mar 2012

      Interview

      I was contacted by the administrative assistant to set up interview, I applied online. I drove 2 hours for interview, called her when I got there, she came down and got me and brought me to meet the Manager over all buyers/procurement. Had a 1-1 interview with him going over my resume. He was very direct and to the point. Then he put me in an office where I met with 2 other men (lead buyers) and interviewed with them. They went back and forth marking on resume and going off a list of questions. They all gave me business cards before I left and were very nice. Got called back for a second interview about a week later where I met with the "main manager" again. Then interviewed with another lead buyer who aked more typical interview questions. Gave me his card afterwards too. Got a call about a week or 2 later from the 2nd man I interviewed with during 2nd interview, saying they had chosen someone else and why they had gone that route - the other person had more experience (which was very helpful to know actually)
