Carlson Wagonlit Travel Interview Questions

Application

The process took 6+ weeks. I interviewed at Carlson Wagonlit Travel (Chicago, IL).

Interview

So I was initially contacted by a recruiter out of London for a job in Chicago. Strange, but I thought it would be good to listen. I proceeded to have 3 phone interviews with folks in the UK as well as France. Then I had a lunch interview locally. At that point I was told by the recruiter that an offer would be coming. I waited another week and they went silent. Then the recruiter sent me an email stating an offer for better than what I was asking for would be coming in 24 hours and asked if I would consider it. I said I would consider any offer that came my way. Then another week went by when I was contacted by the guy in France stating he wanted to meet me in person before they present the offer. So we met and I thought it was a good discussion. The recruiter followed up in a way which I was led to believe an offer was coming. Then I got an email stating they were not offering me the position with no real explanation. So overall I'm less than impressed with this company. They seem disorganized and at least this part of the organization is not functioning well. And although I'm disappointed that I didn't receive an offer I'm kind of glad because they seem insincere and not truthful.

Interview

First went through a screening interview. That interview was about 30 minutes long with an HR representative. She was very nice! Next, I had a follow-up interview with a different HR rep and the hiring manager. This lasted an hour and included a presentation that I was to prepare. The hiring manager was awesome and very good with feedback. Finally, I had to complete a personality screen before the offer was extended. The time between interview and offer was about 2 weeks.

Overall, everyone was very helpful and gave great feedback!

Interview Questions

Interview

Received a very bizarre call. The recruiter told me how awful my resume is and that unless I changed it no one would ever call. The woman then stated she thought I was "awesome" and if I change your resume to what she suggested, she will interview me. Also suggested that I lie about a couple of things. Then continued to insult me and brought up topic of race; not directed at me but still very inappropriate. Strangest phone screen I've ever had! She emailed me requesting a new resume. I politely declined. Too bad because I've heard good things about the company. I wonder if corporate knows how they are being represented......

Interview

Several rounds of phone interviews with several layers of management across the globe as they were opening a Chicago office. Supervisor had a lot of energy but was probably reigned in by more of a stuffy corporate culture. I'm not sure I would have taken the job had it been offered to me.

Interview

I applied for the job on their web site, an HR recruiter called and did a primary phone interview.
HR calls to vet the candidate and if the candidate's experience is in line with the position, an interview is scheduled with the hiring manager. A meeting request is sent to the candidate reiterating the time and date of the interview and who will be in on the interview. On the day of the phone interview, the hiring manager and candidate's direct Supervisor called and the interview proceeded. Within a few days, I received a courteous email that stated they went in a different direction in the hiring process. What was most impressive was that I was offered the name of a company who might be interested in my talents, and in line with my experience and person's name to contact. I was extremely impressed with the courtesies offered to me.
