Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would you do in *hypothetical* situation, and how would you react/ handle it?
- marketing trends?
- why do you want to work here?
It was easy and straightforward. If you want the job act like you want it. General behavior questions were asked. Additionally prepare some prior experience to explain. For example they may ask what was the hardest thing you have accomplished. Or explain a time you team did not succeed.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Staples (Framingham, MA) in Jan 2022
Interview
two 30ish minute interviews with two different people. Both ask similar but different questions. They seem to care about what you do as a individual and how you handle different situations. Like most companies they also look for leadership qualities. Make sure to practice and be confident, and you’ll do great!
