Behavioral Presentation

I went to a career fair on campus and got an email inviting me to an interview on campus the next week. I did well in that interview. Then, they asked me to come to their main office in Kansas City for two more interviews. I was there all day, and they gave us a tour and a formal luncheon with a mentor. About 60 other candidates were there. We all had two interviews that day. I sent a thank you email afterwards, but about a week later they told me they wouldn't be moving forward with my candidacy.

I met with some recruiters at a career fair at my university. About a week later, they reached out to me to set up an interview. I had one interview that lasted about 30-35 minutes. They told me they'd let me know. The interview questions were really hard and super specific. There were a couple of times I had to pause and really think before I could answer. The interviewer looked at my transcript and asked me about a low grade I got in one particular class.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Can you share an instance where your initial plan didn't work out, and you had to switch to a backup plan?
  • Could you explain the reason for the lower grade in that specific class on your transcript?
