I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Dow
Interview
The recruitment process was efficient and well-structured. From the initial application to the interview stages, communication was clear and timely. The interviewers were professional, asking insightful questions and providing detailed information about the role. I felt supported throughout, making it a positive and rewarding experience overall.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Dow (Midland, MI) in Jan 2015
Interview
The interview was a structured phone interview with four participants, each responsible for facilitating a different section. The interview lasted 90 minutes. I was given a list of 6 topics in advance and the attributes the company was looking for in this areas. During the interview itself, the questions followed these 6 topics but all had a twist of some sort looking for a specific answer (... tell me about your most recent experience leading a small-scale improvement...). I had 12 prepared examples from my work history ready for the interview in "STAR" format (situation, task, action taken positive result). This worked well and fit their question format. However, as I followed their specific questions with the 'twist' added, I realized I was making a strategic mistake. I was using examples with the best impression of my skills and answering their question honestly, but it was not always the examples most relevant to the online job posting. After the 90 minutes, I realized there were 2 specific examples from my work history very relevant to the online job posting that I did not utilize!
