Interview Details – Was a great interview. Local group and chicago was a class act. Felt comfortable with the management, had a great six-sigma program in place and solid continuous improvement efforts. The multiple interviews were point at topic and looked for fit in the family as well. Unfortunatly, my division was closed and moved overseas.

Interview Details – I was contacted by someone in human resources. When I was being interviewed, I first met with human resources to go over schedule, etc. about the position. I then met with the head of the department I would be working in. That was about a 45 minute meeting. There was then a graphic design test to make sure I knew the programs. The test was administered in Quark. Their technology and computers are very outdated in each room. They are also still working with CS3. After I floundered my way through the test (I think Quark is a waste of time and everything should be done in Indesign, especially in a global company), I was offered the position.
Interview Question – Most difficult was the test in Quark. I hadn't once been in Quark before the test, something I mentioned clearly in my resume. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – There was absolutely no negotiation. They wanted to run a background check, credit check, and do a urine drug test. I thought this was extensive for someone sitting behind a computer who wouldn't be dealing with money or machinery, but I complied.
