      Purchasing Agent Interview

      Oct 20, 2018
      Anonymous employee
      Norfolk, VA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at MAERSK (Norfolk, VA) in Sep 2018

      Interview

      Very difficult interview. Completely situational with none of the typical “tell me about yourself /what is your biggest strength and weakness” stuff. Very tailored to the job and can you do it. It was a full hour. Seem like a great group of intelligent people and I start Monday!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How do you negotiate product from point a to point b with limited budget and time table. Didn’t work, now what?
