I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The Hershey Company (Manhattan, KS) in Oct 2018
Interview
This was a college job fair interview. Pretty basic interview. They used the STAR Method. Interviewer was polite and professional. I wore navy slacks and a long sleeved oxford and a tie. In hindsight, I should have probably dressed up a little more with a blazer or full suit.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
STAR Method Question. Situational stuff like "Describe one time you've overcome and obstacle in x scenario" or "Tell about a time where you had to be a leader"
Zoom interview for first round and then a field day. It was not too hard pretty simple just have to show that you are genuinely interested in the role and you think it is a good fit for you.
Very intense interview process, full day of walking the stores, learning to stock shelves. Did not live up to the job description. I assumed it would be a more technical position, but after this "interview day" it seemed to just be a physical, stocking shelves type of role.
