Interview

Interview was dry and not very personable. Not bad, but not great either. The job description did not match the actual job very well so I didn’t feel very well prepared.

Interview

Very chaotic. They want a potential employee to be interviewed by several managers in the company but most questions are repeated and managers seem unprepared. They focus on situational, behavior, and outcome scenarios so make sure you answer the questions with those in mind

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Georgia-Pacific (Jacksonville, FL) in Jan 2023

Interview

Phone interview with recruiter Went on to next round with Video Interview with Hiring Manager Then 2 weeks later was flown out for on-site interview. Interview went well and everyone I interviewed with was impressed with my qualifications Was told I’ll hear back soon with next steps, it has been 6 weeks and no response from HR or hiring manager with application still being considered. I even sent a follow-up email after the 2 week mark and complete silence. Luckily I found a different job but if that’s how Georgia Pacific treats their applicants, I wonder how they treat their employees. Don’t understand how they promote MBM principles like integrity and respect but you could care less people and the time they took to participate in the interviews.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Georgia-Pacific

Interview

Standard interview, multiple rounds, behavioral type questions, etc. Met with the hiring manager several times. Prior to Covid, interviews were held in person but then switched to virtually. I would recommend not giving a salary number when asked by HR because you don’t want to get a lower offer than you would’ve otherwise agreed to.

I interviewed at Georgia-Pacific (New York, NY)

Interview

The hiring manager of the bat asked me do you have experience in mills. There's thousands of companies and industries out there, not just milling. The position i applied for deals with contracts which if your in contracts and construction, you know that its similar in nature what the organization needs and build it from there. He expects it to be a specialist on that field. He didn't even consider what my experience are and just didn't have interest at all. Over all if they need a specialist in their posting they need to come clean and be upfront. The job is in the middle of nowhere. About 30 min drive to the nearest town. With no major town around. Even if I got the job, I'll walk away if ill be working with him. Nuf said.
