Grant Street Group interview questions

Response from our President: When interviewing recent college graduates, we don't generally have a lot to work with in terms of prior work experience or practical examples of critical thinking and problem solving, which are important qualifications for the business analyst position at Grant Street. A relevant major, a high GPA and a single summer internship aren't much to work with. So in cases like yours, we have to dig deeper into your academic background. Hence the questions about courses and test scores. Yours were certainly strong. So strong that you would have qualified for scholarships and admission to some of the top-ranked colleges in the U.S. In response to the common interview question about what motivated your choice of a college, you told me it was the weather. I have no problem with that, but it is information that says something about your priorities that has a bearing on your professional aspirations from the perspective of a prospective employer. With regard to the comment about "native women". It was not a comment about native women. It was a complimentary remark about "Miami natives" -- in the town where you attended college. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh. I have been referring to myself as a "Pittsburgh native" for at least 50 years. My 19-year-old daughter tells me that referring to oneself (or anyone else) as a native of their hometown is no longer permissible. Now I know better. My apologies.
