The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman in Mar 2010
Interview
In March, I had two interviews and I thought it went pretty well but apparently I was mistaken. After two weeks or so, I received the "not so good news" letter through email. As for other Engineering position, I haven't received any words from HR or the supervisor for well over 4 weeks.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Los Angeles, CA) in Aug 2008
Interview
Applied thru college's career website. After summitted my resume, the career center conducted the 1st interview.
And then I was put on waiting list. An year later, I got the notice for the 2nd interview. Its a job with City of Los Angeles. Not really related to my major, however, I have been always wanting a stable job. The interview went very smooth. The interviewer were very nice and polite unlike those "sharp" ones from private sector.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Whats your opinion on traffic congestion in the city? Any way you can think of to improve?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Newport News, VA) in May 2008
Interview
I was told from the beginning and for the duration of the interview that I was unqualified and would not like working in this particular department. Despite having listed my college degree and major field of study (physics), I was told that my degree had nothing to do with work at the shipyard. This made me ask exactly why I was being interviewed in the first place because I kept my degree and major no secret. I asked several times why I wouldn't like working in that department, and the question was ignored.
Within the first few minutes of the interview, I was being shown the door without an opportunity for me to ask questions, so I asked anyway. When I asked about educational opportunities and training within the company, I was directed to a social networking site that had nothing at all to do with training opportunities. Before leaving the interview, I was told that it didn't matter about my interview because they needed someone to start right away, and I was not immediately available due to my having to give notice at my current job.
Funny enough, I was called one month later with an offer for the job. That didn't exactly give me a warm and fuzzy feeling about accepting the offer.
