Interview
After applying to Boeing on their website and waiting for about 6 months, I finally got a phone call saying they received my resume, were interested and asked if I could do an interview. I immediately said yes, and was offered a phone interview within a couple days. At the interview, I was greeted by two Boeing managers, who shared a little bit about what they worked on and began the questions. There were 5 questions total, each one being a behavioral interview question - if you have a few scenarios pre planned and use the STAR technique for answering behavioral questions, it should be an easy interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were no technical questions, all behavioral (5), I would recommend practicing the STAR technique (google it) and have a few adaptable scenarios planned beforehand.
Mostly questions on how you handled experiences like failure in processes, or the project you think showed off your expertise most. There were no technical questions at all, but this is for a entry level position.
45 minute interview with two managers where you must answer questions regarding how you would act in certain scenarios using the STAR method. You will also need to describe your resume/career history.
