Keyence interview questions

I applied through a recruiter and after he determined I can potentially fill a niche, I was sent the Bennett Mechanical Comprehension Test. If you've taken engineering courses or basic physics then this test is simple. Gears, pulleys, angular acceleration (directional basics) etc. I tend to over prepare for things and was a bit disappointed by how simple this test turned out to be. Don't think too much about it. Second step was a phone interview and while the gentleman was nice, it felt rushed. Maybe he has a quota to meet in terms of the number of interviewees or something. Either way it only lasted about 15 minutes. He asked me to explain my resume, why technical sales, six traits of a salesman, top three locations, which btw was then asked to rank those totaling a sum of 10. Maybe one or two more questions, but overall it was underwhelming with no profound interview questions. It definitely felt like a screener interview to make sure you know how to speak and you have a good enough reason for a technical sales position. Third step was the HireVue interview. By far the weirdest one, because it was my first time doing something like this. I was given seven questions with three minutes to answer each. A video is shown with a woman asking the questions (6/7 seconds long) with the question written out at the bottom. When the video is completed the question is shown with a one minute countdown. You don't need to use the entirety of the three minutes as you can stop the recording and move on. Do note that you cannot redo a question, just like in a real interview. Guess they're trying to give you that normalized feeling, either way, still awkward. Again, simple questions here. There are practice questions before starting the real thing so I recommend doing those so you get a feel of how the process works. Fourth and my final step was the Caliper personality test. It's pretty straightforward with 70-something questions. A bulk of those questions have four statements and you choose the one you most likely and least likely relate to. Another set was finishing the sequence with numbers. For example: 3, -6, 12, 4, 20, ? What comes next? There's another variant of this, but with shapes. Overall it took me roughly an hour or less, but it's not timed so you have nothing to concern yourself with there. With a personality test, companies know exactly what they're looking for. I've done one previously with another company and passed perfectly fine, so seeing as Keyence is a Japanese company might play a role in what sort of personality they're looking for. I don't bother to try to cheat the system per se because as I've stated, a company knows what they want. How well these personality test work is another story also. Anyway, I received my beautiful no after this step. If you're expecting a reason as to why a no, then you clearly don't have enough interview experience, because most companies nowadays will provide a no without reason. I can't speak of the final step since I never got that far, but you can read the reviews of those who've accepted the job and get an idea of what to expect. Anyway, this was my experience and hopefully it gives you some insight as to what to expect. Good luck!
