Interview Details – They came to the career fair at my college and I was contacted that night for an interview the next day. I was interviewed by a panel of 3 women, one was clearly the manager or "higher up" and took notes on her laptop and the other two were recent graduates who worked in the area I would be working in and asked the questions.

Supply Chain Co-op at Unilever
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Ann Arbor, MI Sep 2010 – Reviewed Oct 15, 2012
Interview Details – Got the interview via an oncampus career fair. Only 1 round of interviews, was the day after I talked to them at their booth, and was on-campus. It is behavioral based, so brainstorm key situations you have been in. Googling the STAR methodology and questions to prep will help you for the interview.
Interview Question –
Unfortunately, I don't remember the questions as the interview was several years ago, but they were pretty standard.
A question you can almost always expect to have that is challenging is "Tell me about a situation in which you had to deal with a difficult teammate."

Supply Chain Co-Op at Unilever
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Englewood Cliffs, NJ Nov 2010 – Reviewed Dec 3, 2010
Interview Details – The phone interview was very simple.. Behavior based and the interviewer asked questions about Unilever such as how familiar are you with Unilever... It was more or less them explaining to me what Unilever is all about.. After that was done, he asked a couple of behavior questions such as, what would you do if you were the leader of an incompetent team.
Interview Questions
- How would you lead an incompetent team? View Answer
- What are some of the reasons why our product is not on the shelf at a store? View Answer
Negotiation Details –
No negotiation allowed.. Keep your options open.. don't accept offers right away. When you're a co-op unilever pays about 16-18 per hour depending on your seniority level. Even though they do pay per hour, think of it as a a salary position. More than likely, you will work more than 40 hours a week and you will not get paid for more than 37.5 hours a week.
Overall it's a great learning experience.
