      Marketing Assistant Interview

      Dec 22, 2010
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Chevron in Aug 2009

      Interview

      Was broght in by staffing company. Interviewed by three people. Job was advertised as marketing assistant but was in an industrial setting and consisted of basic administrative and saftey issues. Was given on-the-spot excel where was expected to perform tasks as they were called out to me by one of three people doing interview. Was highly stressful interview. Was asked what the phrase "Hair in the soup." might mean. The answer was that it means that details matter and that one goof can spoil an entire presentation. Needless to say, I didn't guess that. Over all, a rather bizarre experience. The job would have paid really well though.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Can you show me on this huge overhead projector with the ergonomically-friendly but bizarrely shaped mouse that you've never encountered before how you could create a pivot table in Microsoft Excel 2003. Pay no attention to the breathing on the back of your neck. Also make no motions toward using the laptop trackpad or the three interviewers will scream, "You can use the mouse!" at you as if it never occured to you to use the mouse. When you do, in fact, create the pivot table using the half-a-bowling ball shaped mouse, be prepared to discuss how using the trackpad on the laptop would have been an ergonomical distaster and using the the mouse that may have been bigger than the actual laptop itself was infinitely better. Also be prepared for grudging admiration on your pivot table. (I may be paraphrasing a bit)
