Purchasing Intern at Dana Corporation

No Offer – Interviewed in Maumee, OH Mar 2012 – Reviewed Mar 30, 2012

Interview Details – Did a short phone interview with a woman in HR. Made an appointment for an interview. The interview consisted of a group/panel of people who were from the department I would be working in. Not really any tough questions. Asked about skills and resume information. Interview only took 30-45 minutes. Company atmosphere seems calm and everyone was very friendly. They discuss how much the position would pay but said the internship could last anywhere from 3 months to 2 years.

Supply Chain Management at Dana Corporation

No Offer – Interviewed in Toledo, OH Jan 2011 – Reviewed Feb 17, 2011

Interview Details – I had 2 phone screens with 2 different people and a follow-up face to face. Very intensive discussion regarding my purchasing background and the current state of condition/challenges for supply chain within the company. Each screen lasted an hour. The face to face was another hour with one supply chain member and one internal customer. I was never quite sure what the expectations of the job was. The job description was vague enough and it was never clear to me what role they wanted the candidate to fill. I left the interview with a good feeling but uncertainty of what and who they really wanted in addtion to what they wanted to accomplish.

Interview Question – What was the percentage of cost savings compared to the overall spend?(for a company that I had not recently worked for)   Answer Question

Human Resources at Dana Corporation

No Offer – Interviewed in Toledo, OH Jul 2010 – Reviewed Aug 4, 2010

Interview Details – I was called two days after I applied to schedule a phone interview, and spoke to an agency recruiter in CA. About two weeks after the phone interview, someone in TX contacted me to schedule an onsite interview in OH. He gave me a few time options and slotted me in. When I arrived for my interview, there was no one at the front desk, and the phone list did not include the names of the people I was scheduled to meet with. Luckily, there was another person waiting in the lobby that knew the people I was supposed to meet with and said they will be right out.

The interview consisted of two panel interviews (2 people per panel). The first asked basic interview questions (3 strengths, 3 areas of improvement, Microsoft Office experience, Career Highlight, Project that went astray, etc.), the second interview had me walk through my resume and asked “would you rather do this or that?” questions.

It seemed like two the interviewers were trying to impress the other interviewer by asking tricky questions they read in a book.

I received a phone call the week after notifying me that I was not selected for the position.

Senior Financial Analyst at Dana Corporation

Declined Offer – Interviewed in Maumee, OH Apr 2010 – Reviewed May 29, 2010

Interview Details – My resume was passed on to their recruiters from my school and a day later I received a phone call from their H.R. Manager. She asked me a few fit questions, then informed me that she would contact me in the next few days. The very next day she called me back to schedule a 1:1 interview for the following week. The 1:1 interview consisted of two 45 min interviews, one with the H.R. Manager and one with the Global IT Controller. Most of the questions were behavioral and a few technical questions. Not too bad.
