I applied in November of 2015 for the business planning co-op and the corporate affairs co-op. I didn't hear anything until mid-december of 2015 when I received a pre-interview questionnaire. Filled it out, returned it to Honda. Honda received it and said I would hear back within 2 weeks. Didn't hear anything back. February 2016 comes around, and Honda is at my school's job fair. I go and talk to them in person, tell them I applied, have a great conversation with the recruiters. They take my resume. About a month goes by and at this point I figure my chances at Honda are done for (I have a great GPA and pretty good resume too - but as a Marketing major it is hard to see why I may have been overlooked for some roles in their operations based in Ohio). First or second day of March, I finally get a call and am asked to interview for a position I didn't even apply for -- a new co-op position they are implementing in their procurement division to try to implement some internal marketing to get all of Honda's north american plants on a cohesive page with all suppliers. (Sounds like a weird job description - but that's how it was described to me). I think, what the hell, decide to go for the interview knowing it would be great to work for Honda as my parents both have worked there before. I interviewed the same week I was called and asked to interview. It was a weird process: I get to the purchasing office and right away you notice the sterile - yet open - office environment that Honda uses. White uniforms... need I say more on the sterile topic? Everyone looks hard at work and I notice how many people have backpacks on meaning people must take work home sometimes - I like this because it shows people are serious about their work here. Anyways, they take me out of the office and down to the old tunnel that attached the old motorcycle plants to the main manufacturing plant into the old nurse's station into a crammed office. If that description sounds sketchy - be assured - it was a little sketchy feeling. I was interviewed by two guys who were really nice. BE WARNED THOUGH - they are not interested in your resume. I was asked one question from my resume and it was, "What is your best margarita recipe?" in regards to a bartending job I worked my freshman year of college. They pick your resume for a reason - so when you send a resume into Honda, be sure it has everything you want on it. That is your biggest selling point. In the interview they were more concerned with what kind of worker and organizational fit you would be. STAR method? Study it... go over questions, be concise, think of a variety of contexts to talk about your experiences. Don't expect eye contact either! They wrote down nearly everything I said. It felt isolated at times and maybe like they were disinterested but they are serious about finding the right candidates and I admired that. Don't be afraid - as they told me - to ask for the question to be repeated or to take a pause before some questions. Be able to back up all your answers too! They will catch you if you are BS-ing because they ask a lot of "Why did you that?" or "How did that happen?" or "What was the original _________". Go into the interview knowing what to expect to an extent - know it is not an interview about "getting to know you as a person" - its about getting to know how well you would fit and your chances of being successful in their workplace. LAST THOUGHT: If they go to your school's career fair you MUST talk to them. They had my resume that I brought to them at the career fair and didn't seem to know that I ever applied online or submitted a resume online. As I said, they hand-picked my resume from the ones they got from the career fair. ALSO: I received my conditional offer of employment (pending a physical, background check, etc.) exactly 1 week after my interview. They told me they like to make decision's within a week especially knowing college students balance multiple job offers at once.
