97 industrial manager interview questions shared by candidates

The majority of the questions were boilerplate. Like I said in the Interview Process section, there weren't any deep questions and this was with a panel of designers and the hiring manager. The questions were based on my design portfolio where they asked questions to the products showcased within in. Basically like, "Did you design that fitness wearable?" I'm thinking to myself, "Uh....yeah. Why else would I have it in my design portfolio." Of course I didn't say that - instead, I walked them through the design, materials, features and manufacturing process. Other than that, other questions briefly dealt with my past experience and how many people I managed. They were nice people - especially the hiring manager; however, I didn't feel that they 'got' the design and usability testing process that I was laying out for them.

What was the big number on your last year's W-2 or 1099 - not a normal interview question but is asked to they can offer you a salary that "matches" what you are accustomed to...this is a double edged sword so be careful what you say. What I mean is my earning the year before this job were literally about a third of what I am used to.....they don't need to know that, so do what you gotta do and keep in mind they will NOT ask for documentation.....at least I never heard of them doing so?!?
