I am a recent grad. I have some work experience through college and high school, but this is my first round of applying and interviewing for real corporate jobs. I had applied to at least 4 dozen places, and Set schedule was one of the few places that constantly kept communication open through the process. When I first applied I took three assessment tests, and the had a phone screen. The Hr person was super nice. She asked me if I have had a lot of interviews and gave me some tips on how to respond to questions for the next round of interviews. Then I was invited to an in person interview. In the interview we went over my experiences through behavioral based questions. The Hr person then explained that they had a high number of applicants. Over 450 applied, and that some had moved farther along in the process as they had applied much earlier. A few days later Like the other review, I was notified that the position was put on hold. However, I realized that there had been other people in the process and it was put on hold because they made an offer. I thought it was really nice of the company not to waste my time and energy any further and to keep me in the loop. a few days later they followed up with a notification that the position was filled. Even though I didn't get the position I really appreciated the fact that they kept in touch.
Talked about previous experience and what they were after
A lot of the questions were the type where they ask you to "describe a time when...", like "Describe a time when you received criticism on your work" or "Tell me how you've responded when someone in your group wasn't doing their part?" Also be prepared with questions about the company and about the position you are applying for.
