Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Corning.
Mechanical Engineering Intern
Typical phone screening then if you pass that you interview with the plant engineering manager. Interview felt more like a conversation and did not feel stressful. They asks typical interview and screening questions.
- Can you introduce yourself?
- Could you go over your resume?
Mechanical Engineer
First, there was a recruiter phone screen where they asked about my past experiences. Then, I had an in-person interview with the hiring manager and his manager where we talked about the job, department, and company. Finally, I met with the HR manager who asked me soft skills questions like 'What would you do if...?'
- Could you please prepare a presentation about a project you have worked on in the past?
Mechanical Engineer
The interview process was pretty straightforward, likely due to me applying through a connection. First, there are a few forms to complete about yourself. Then, on the interview day, you'll give a 45-minute presentation on any topic you choose. This presentation is for your potential colleagues, including HR and the hiring manager. They might ask some questions after, but usually save most for later. After the presentation, each person you met will have a one-on-one meeting with you throughout the day, asking standard questions. You'll also have plenty of time to ask them questions, and they expect you to. There wasn't a second interview in my case.
- How would you handle a long-term project being suddenly canceled?
- What are your career aspirations for the next five years?
