This was my first job interview, and although I know I lack experience, I felt that the interview technique they use is overly difficult and not useful. Almost every question started with the phrase, "Tell us about a time when you...." and they were very repetitive and forced me to keep touching on the same things.
Long process. Initial phone screen with recruiter then onsite panel interview. Everyone just ready off behavior based questions from a list - felt very scripted. If you’re good at BS, then these types of interviews you’ll do fine. Not sure they really provide true insight of the candidate.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at International Paper (Knoxville, TN) in Sep 2017
Interview
I met at a job fair on campus and was offered an interview the next day. Everyone I spoke with was very friendly and easy to talk to, that I found. I enjoyed the interview and learned a lot about the people who were interviewing me. I asked about their career paths with IP and they really enjoyed that I asked that.
