Behavioral Group

The interview process was pretty straightforward. I first got an email with a set of questions to answer and submit. Once they reviewed my responses and they were good, I was invited for an in-person interview. The interview itself was a panel with three people: the supervisor, someone from HR, and a manager involved with the program. They asked questions directly from their notes. The questions weren't too difficult. About a week after the interview, I got an email saying I didn't get the job.

The interview process was pretty smooth. They asked me some standard questions like my communication style, how I handle conflict, and what time management means to me. Then they said they'd be in touch, but never were.

Behavioral Group Presentation

I saw an ad for an Aviation Department internship via my university's career center. I sent my resume, cover letter, and transcripts to the recruiter. A couple of weeks later, I got a call inviting me to open interviews for the summer internships, which were held the following week. There were eight internships in about five or six different divisions of the department. We candidates were all in a conference room together, and the internship program director talked about the department and the program (this was the first formal internship program in 2016). Then, we were called in individually for panel interviews (with two people) based on our resumes and what we were interested in. Since I have a double major, I had three separate interviews. Each one was about 20 minutes long. Afterward, we were asked to wait in the hall, and then either sent home or got an offer right there. Those who accepted were taken to do the paperwork. We had a start date about two weeks out.

Group Behavioral Presentation

I had a group panel interview. They really stuck to their script and didn't ask follow-up questions. It felt a bit unprofessional and disorganized because they got confused about the role I applied for and used questions meant for a different position. I mentioned I applied for a different role (but in the same department), and they said they'd consider me for 'both,' but they never asked me any questions about the actual job I wanted. It seemed like I was rejected for a job I didn't even apply for and didn't get to discuss my experience for the role I was interested in. The overall vibe of the interview was good though, and they seemed to be paying attention.
