      Patent Attorney Interview

      Jul 29, 2010
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Niskayuna, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at GE (Niskayuna, NY) in Oct 2008

      Interview

      GE uses a classic behavioral interview approach: "Tell me about a time when you had a conflict with a colleage" 'Tell me about a time when you successfully overcame a challenge". "What is your greatest weakness" "Tell me about a time when.....etc.....etc". Although these types of interview questions are extremely trendy at the moment, the questions do not provide you with an adequate opportunity to showcase your unique talents, strengths, abilities, and skills. The questions, which started early in the morning and continued late into the evening, had little or nothing to do with my experience and qualifications. The process was very inefficient, tedious, and a bit degrading. Many of the interviewers were fresh out of school, had little or no technical experience, and seemed to be hostile towards the idea of hiring anyone with more experience than themselves.
