Received and Accepted Offer

Interviewed Jan 2007 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 days)

Initial telephone screening and resume review, followed by a mix of group and individual interviews on a separate day at corporate headquarters. Interviewed by General Managers and Directors in the business unit hiring. The interview process was very congenial, focusing on business skills, personality and behavioral questions, leadership experience and potential, and overall cultural fit.

My initial contact with the company was via an interaction at the NSHMBA career expo, followed by submission of my credentials and application to the Delta.com careers website.

The most difficult question was a hypothetical situation in which I was confronted with a serious ethical issue and had to describe some potential solutions and risks, without specific knowledge of company policy.
