Behavioral Other

I applied online and they got back to me about a week later. They sent over an online behavioral assessment. They mentioned it was more about understanding how I work rather than finding right or wrong answers.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Some questions were like a personality test where you had to drag sliders between two options to describe which one you were more like.
  • Other questions described possible work scenarios and had you rank the ways that you would be most likely to handle them.

Technical Behavioral

I first spoke with a college recruiter at a campus career fair. A couple weeks later, I got invited for an on-campus interview that lasted about an hour. There were two interviewers, both engineers with at least 3 years at Gore. They asked me some basic engineering design and DoE questions, plus a basic fluid dynamics problem. At the start, they asked if I was an international student and mentioned I wouldn't get an offer unless my status changed. They still went through with the interview.
