Process Engineer at Avery Dennison

No Offer – Interviewed in Mar 2012 – Reviewed Apr 3, 2012

Interview Details – I was applying for the GOLD Leadership program and was asked for an On-Campus Interview. Questions were centered around past project experience. This included name a time when a group member was not participating to their full extent and how you overcame it. Another question was along the lines of, How do you like to overcome problems, and give an example. The first question was a wide open question of "Besides what we see on your resume, what makes you an ideal candidate for the this program?" It is necessary to research the company first to try and impress them as they will not talk about themselves.

Supply Chain Manager at Avery Dennison

No Offer – Interviewed in Aug 2011 – Reviewed Sep 7, 2011

Interview Details – Initial step included two phone screens. First with HR and then with the so called the hiring manager. I was successful in securing a face-to-face interview. I was told that I would be seeing the hiring manager, sales team members and direct reports. I was called back for a further interview with members that were not available the first time. It went well enough for the final phase which was was an interview at the corporate office with 6 people taking all day. The entire process took 10 weeks only to be told that management, not the hiring manager, want to interview other people to find the right candidate.

You would think that the hiring manager would know what he wants, needs, and fits, but it appears that other members of the management really make the decision, so be warned and prepare yourself for a long process that might not provide the result you want.

Gold Associate at Avery Dennison

No Offer – Interviewed in Mar 2011 – Reviewed Mar 28, 2011

Interview Details – From the beginning of the event, you feel like you're in a fishbowl being watched by the hiring managers. While they try to dress it up a little and make it fun, it's hard not to feel the pressure of 20 pairs of eyes evaluating everything you do for two days.

Interview Question – There is a "team building" event on the second day. They try to make it fun but it's just another chance for the hiring managers to watch you demonstrate leadership skills.   View Answer
