      Senior Tender Manager Interview

      May 13, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Poole, England
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Siemens (Poole, England) in May 2015

      Interview

      Online application through cover letter and cv, email exchange with HR, telephone interview followed by face to face interview. Great interview, 5 components: (1) Intro: interviewers (x2) set context of org & role, asked what i knew about org (so do prep) and understood about role (2) asked to summarise my experience (cv), (4) number of competency based questions - you can guess the competencies from the ad (teamwork, problem solving, communication, relationship building, leading, developing, motivating people, etc) (5) Closure: asked why i want to leave current job / org and likes/dislikes of previous job (similar to this role), availability and relocation. Decision within 1 day followed by same day feedback (i requested it) from HR - very professional set up, lovely people, sure great place to work! Advised role was too junior, but positive interview and encouraged to apply for more senior role.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      (1) Working with and motivating a number of different international organisations (bid partners). (2) How I approach a bid and motivate a bid team. (3) How to ensure bid submitted to a high standard (contribution of others). (4) Communicating with the senior management / the board? (5) You mention you are not technical, how would you respond to the technical aspects of a bid?
