Interview Details –
Process took about 2 months, I was actually waiting on this position for over 6 months, calling asking current employees and checking the website.
Applied and got a call to take the online test which was a piece of cake. After that i got and email to take the mechanical and math test, took the test passed all parts. HR lady said it would take another 2 weeks to get a interview. Went to the interview it was 3 other canidates. They where hiring 8 people for utility relief. Got interviewed by 3 different plant workers. Interviews went great i was complimented on my interviews, after the interviews they said they were gonna give me a call. 1 week passes and i get a Dum email saying, Sorry we have decided to seek other canidates. The same email all companies send. I think it was a racial thing because I was a Black Male. Georgia Pacific needs to fix there hiring process, i was over qualified for that position.

Interview Details – Got a phone interview asking about resume and experience, was asked mild behavioral questions. Was told a call back to be expected in a week. I did and set up a 1 on 1 interview, a week and a half later. I was not told how many people I would meet with, nor was it sent to me who I would meet. Told me to bone up on the behavioral questions and set aside a good 4-5 hrs. I literally studied every question they could throw at me and the history of the company and the things they do. I met with the direct manager, HR rep, Asst Director and Director. Interview started 40 mins late , but each interview was about 30 mins long. They write down your answers, and read the questions from a sheet, where it looks like they pick which questions they want to ask out of the group. Know the MBM principles, and try to point out the MANY things the company is involved in, into maybe about 5 words. No sense in reading the owner's book he wrote, never got to use that in the interview.. No where in the interview did I get to discuss my attributes that I can bring to the job, nor even show any of those attributes in the questions asked.

Interview Details –
All behavioral based questions -- they actually send a list of possible questions beforehand via email. Interview was three rounds -- one with the plant manager, one with the service manager, and one with the VP of the region.
Everything seemed like it went perfect, I felt very good about the job. However, after waiting and following up, no offer was received. Someone of lesser skill than I received internship, could possibly be because of diversity issues?
Interview Question – Tell me about a time when you were leading a team of 5-10 people and there was a communications breakdown and how you resolved it. Answer Question

Interview Details – Interviewed with about 8 different people one by one they all followed GP culture of MBM behavioral based questions although I agree behavioral based question do give you hands on insight of a potential employee. I feel the questions are a bit unnecessary b/c we all have not experienced the same

Interview Details – I found out about the position at my school career fair. I was looking for a full time job, but they were recruiting for a summer intern and encouraged me to apply. I was selected for an interview on campus. It was two thirty minute interviews back to back. The first was with local employees and we mostly discussed my résumé. The next was with the HR rep from corporate and another employee. In this one they asked situational based questions. Do your research on market based management to see if you're a fit, all of the questions are based on it.
Interview Question – The most difficult part was answering questions based on an experience. I don't have much job experience so it was hard to come up with a specific situation. Answer Question
