      Buyer/Planner Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Smith+Nephew (Oklahoma City, OK) in Jul 2021

      Interview

      There were three interviews total. -The first is a phone call from HR in which they ask some rudimentary questions pertaining to the role for which you are applying, why you want to work for Smith+Nephew, and about your current role, if employed. -The second interview is with a member of management within the purchasing department. They ask you more job relevant questions, tell you about projects they are currently working on, and what the position would entail. The about of information you get regarding the enterprise resource planning tools they use and their own internal processes in more dependent on you asking the right questions. -The third interview is with another member of management within the purchasing department. Their questions follow the same format as the second: "what is your greatest accomplishment in the last year?" "Tell about a time you had to resolve conflict with fellow employee, etc." After the interview process expect to wait a week longer than their stated lead time prior to hearing anything regarding whether you got the job or not. I assume I was not a serious contender considering they never even invited me on-site to see the facility despite requesting it more than once. If you find yourself experiencing similar circumstances, prepare to apply elsewhere. They seemed like great, knowledgable people, though. Good luck if you are applying.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1. Why do you want to work for Smith+Nephew? 2. Describe a time you resolved a conflict with a coworker? 3. In the last year what was your greatest accomplishment? 4. Do you work better independently or on a team? 5. What experience, successful or not, has taught you the most within the last year.
