I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at C.H. Robinson (Louisville, KY) in Sep 2012
Interview
The review process was pretty simple. I applied online, and within a few days I heard back from a recruiter. We then set up a time to do a phone interview. The phone interview was pretty straightforward, and they asked typical interview questions. It lasted 15 minutes. After the interview, I had to take a personality test, which I passed. I then had a second screening interview, which consisted of going over my resume, as well as some more typical interview questions. It lasted about 30 minutes. A few days later I was contacted to set up an in-person interview. The in person interview was great. I got to see the office, shadow someone, and talk to the branch manager. It only lasted an hour, and everyone was really nice.
The process took 1 week. I interviewed at C.H. Robinson (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Long but not too stressful. they take you down to shadow employees and then interview you further. behavioral questions mainly.first started with a phone interview then asked what time next week to come in and go from there.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at C.H. Robinson (Luxembourg)
Interview
Phone call then in person interview. The guy was friendly and so was the atmosphere. He basically explained the job while asking contextual questions/my opinion on the matter. The main think he tried to assess was basic understanding / ability to speak clearly / motivation for the job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic knowledge of the company/job/industry, they try to judge if you enjoy the industry
I applied through a recruiting session at my university. First interview was on campus, lasted about 30min. Be prepared with notes about the company's background, roles, history, mission statement. Lots of behavioral questions about past job experience and other questions about competitiveness. Come prepared with two questions about the companies culture, two questions about the role, two questions about the company, and two questions about the interviewer. The first interview is all about if you did you're homework or not. The second interview took place at C.H Robinson's office in Chicago. From the second you walk through those doors they are testing you. Don't be on your phone while waiting in the lobby and treat the receptionist properly. You shadow an employee on the customer side and the carrier side of the business; Ask them lots of questions! After shadowing there are two more interviews with a role play exercise.
