Medical Device final round interview

Posted on December 18th, 2007 in Career Development by Warren

I just spent an entire day in San Jose.  I had 11 consecutive interviews that went from  9-4:30. To say the least it was quite a marathon. To make things even more difficult, I had interviews with 4 different departments, making it very hard to prepare before hand.  Of the 11, 7 were primarily informational where I dictated the direction of the interview with my own questions. The remaining four were the behavioral type interviews that we just all love to death.  I had 2 or 3 consecutive behavioral interviews where they asked essentially the same questions!  Very tedious indeed, but good practice none the less.   Here’s some of the questions they asked me again and again.

Talk about a time when you had to give an unpopular opinion.

Talk about a time when you had to resolve a conflict.

What type of qualities does a leader have?

What type of management style do you work well under?

What are your short term goals?

How would you reduce the costs of this product?

Talk about a time when you had to lead a group/project.

Why is your graduate school GPA so much higher than your undergrad GPA?

What was the most difficult course you took?

What type of position are you looking for?

What are your strengths?

What are your weaknesses?
