Administrative Assistant at Sikorsky
Declined Offer – Interviewed in Coatesville, PA Oct 2012 – Reviewed Mar 20, 2013
Interview Details – I had a panel interview with a direct manager, an overall manager, and two coworkers. They all took turns asking me questions, pretty much a review of my resume and general office skills. There was some behavioral questions, how I would react if this or that happened. After the interview they took me on a tour of the plant and then I had a one on one with the direct manager. Here she talked more with me on what I was expecting in the position and gave me an overview of the benefits offered.
Interview Question – The most difficult question for me was "Why do you want to be in this role?" Answer Question
Reason for Declining – The distance from my home to the office was the deciding factor.

Mechanical Engineering CoOp at Sikorsky
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Stratford, CT Apr 2012 – Reviewed Jan 1, 2013
Interview Details – Applied online, it is pretty much just a resume drop for the time you can work for them (IE summer, fall, spring) as a student. Got a screening call in April asking about my experience and explaining the position to me, asking about my interest in the position. Was about a 10 minute phone call. A week later got a call, asking me a bit more about myself, and experience, pretty much an informal interview. The week after I got an email with an offer of employment to start in May.
Interview Question – Just was asked questions about projects I worked on and software I used. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Was given a very good pay rate for a CoOp, did not negotiate. Offers are given based on your status in school. (IE. Junior, Senior, Grad Student)
