Behavioral Group Presentation Case Behavioral

First I applied, then I got instructions on WhatsApp for the next step, which included a personal presentation script and which area I wanted to apply for. In this step, I had an interview with the internship company and some other candidates. They screened us to place us in the best-fitting role and I moved to the final stage with the managers. They emailed me a case study, I made a PowerPoint presentation and presented it. There was a group activity, and those who passed went to an individual interview with the managers. They gave feedback in a week. It was a great experience, and the company kept me informed about their activities and my application status.

Confirmed questions4 questions
  • What were your expectations for the internship?
  • Why should you be chosen over another candidate?
  • What motivated you to leave your current internship?
