Interview was casual as expected – I got the feeling the interviewer did not come in with any agenda and came up with a lot of questions on the spot. Another thing I would say – I felt the interviewer was not very experienced with interviewing and felt she was nervous too! I was lucky that she asked me questions exactly in a way that let me highlight the things I wanted to – so overall, a great experience.
Main questions:
- Why did you move from company A to company B? What were differences between them?
- Why did you move from role X in your company to role Y in your company?
- What are your short-term goals after Booth?
- Why do you think Booth is a good place to help you achieve these short term goals?
- Why now?
- Why do you think you are a fit at Booth?
- What do you do outside work?
- Difficult team situation?
- Strengths beyond the one obvious strength in your resume….
- Do you have any questions for me?
No questions on long term goals – no grilling on extracurriculars, leadership etc.
For anybody interviewing over the next week, just relax, Rose Martinelli’s advice on her blog was spot on.
