The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Boeing (Renton, WA) in Sep 2008
Interview
I met with a representative of the department I'd be working in, and that department manager's manager. They were friendly and nice, and had reviewed some of my resume in advance. They were clear about the specific tasks for a short-term contract, and asked to see writing samples (which I'd brought).
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Boeing (Long Beach, CA) in Mar 2008
Interview
You interview with multiple managers that are within the group you are applying to. Each takes turns asking questions. They always seem to have at least 2 people in there for the interview. I applied for the job in April and didn't interview until June and wasn't hired until September.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Boeing (Everett, WA) in Jan 2008
Interview
I applied online via Boeing jobs. I went in for a group/panel interview consisting of two managers of different groups (one of whom is my current manager) and the lead developer of my current group (who is also my mentor). Each of them had a set of questions that focused mainly on my school and internship experiences being that I am a college hire. In short, I had to prove why my experience and knowledge made me the right choice for the job over 20+ other qualified candidates. For anyone applying to a huge corporation, it's very important that you understand what the company is looking for. Since I've interned at Boeing before, I know that the people who interview you are usually the ones you will be working with when hired. Thus, I geared my answers towards exactly they were looking for and did not waste any time blurting out things nobody wanted to hear. Basically, be yourself, go straight to the point and 9 times out of 10 you will come out on top.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You have no real world experience with what this job requires. If presented with an assignment/project with real world demands and deadlines, how will you meet these needs?
