The hiring process can be categorized as follows:
1. Telephone screening through an inhouse recruiter
2. Technical Screening by an assigned team leader or the manager via
the telephone
2. Face to Face Interview (meeting with 3-4 interviewers on the
interview loop) at a MS office, in my case it was at San Francisco
office and I met with a total of 3 interviewers.
The interview process was very intense, exhausting and was an all
day "affair".
Each interviewer took a specific skill to drill me on such as my
collaboration skills; Integrity and Trustworthiness; Problem Solving
Skills; Strategic Thinking Skills; Dealing with Ambiguity; Action
Oriented Skills; Planning, Organizating and Coordinating Skills;
Interpersonal Skills; Orgazinational Agility.
I was asked the following questions and by the end of the day. I was
exhausted, totally spent (smiles) but I got the job - Yippee!!
1. Why do I want to work for the company?
2. How do I stay abreast of technology/
3. What do I think sets me apart from all others in my industry
4. Do I prefer to work independently or in a team? What are the
advantages of working independently and in a team?
5. What do I feel are the most important traits or skills necessary to
establish a relationship with a manager; partner; candidates.
6. Tell me about a time you saw an opportunity that required immediate
action or the opportunity would be lost - What did you do?
7. What accomplishment am I the most proud of?
8. Tell me about the most difficult problem you had to solve this past
year. Did you make this decision alone or did you engage others in the
decision? Why did you approach it this way? What was the outcome?
9. What would you do if someone asked you to do something unethical?
10.Give me an example of a time when you were able to build a long-term
relationship with another team that was mutually beneficial to your
team? To the other team? To the larger organization or company?
