First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
Coach
First a phone screen to see your level of interest then an inperson or virtual interview. General interview questions to determine if you are a good fit and willing to travel or if you want to work from home.
- Can you tell me about yourself?
- Why did you leave your last position?
Job Search Coach
Got a call from an ad response. The process was super long with lots of behavioral/situational questions. They gave me some info but were really vague about the actual job duties and expectations, calling it 'The PROGRAM' and keeping everything a secret. After that, I had an in-person meeting with someone else who asked the exact same questions I'd already been asked. Then, I got a job offer, but it was rescinded due to business needs. Two weeks later, they called again and offered me the job once more.
- How would you be a good candidate for Challenger Gray?
Counselor
I interviewed at Challenger, Christmas, Gray (CCG) for a counselor position. The interview process started with a group overview of the position where the presenter had a dismissive attitude and gave curt answers to questions. The job itself was described as a contract position with low pay despite requiring 8-10 years of experience, no benefits, a six-day work week, minimal advancement opportunities, requiring employees to carry up to $3,000 in expenses on their credit cards, constant travel to multiple locations weekly, and monthly pay.
- Can you describe a time when...?
- Can you share a situation when...?
Job Coach
First we had a phone interview with usual questions that focused on project work. Then, a face to face interview which was focused on behavioral questions. They wanted to see how I would sell myself and show confidence in my coaching abilities.
- Can you share your most significant business accomplishment and explain your reasoning?
