ELP Engineer Interview

Oct 26, 2010

Anonymous Interview Candidate

No offer

Neutral experience

Average interview

Application

The process took 1 day. I interviewed at National Instruments (Austin, TX) in Sep 2010

Interview

I got the interview by attending a career fair and giving the representative my resume. The interview was one on one and lasted for about an hour. The questions were broken up into four behavioral questions and then two technical questions. The behavioral questions were standard “How did you handle this situation?” questions. The technical questions were geared more to see how you think more than what you know.
