      Senior Buyer Interview

      Jan 22, 2026
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Warren, MI
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at General Motors (GM) (Warren, MI) in Jan 2022

      Interview

      Initial interview was a phone screen with a recruiter. From there I was passed along to another phone screen. After the second screen, things progressed well and I was able to receive an in-person interview. However, this was during peak Covid, so it was all online via zoom. I interviewed with 3 different people via zoom, back to back to back. Similar questions, STAR (situation, task, action result) type responses were sought. I should mention, the hiring manager was calling me prior to each step and essentially walking me through the next phase, which was helpful. My last step was a final phone screen with the hiring manager, who I had built enough of a relationship up with by then.
