      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AkzoNobel (Kampong Baharu Nilai) in Jul 2024

      Interview

      prescreening via phone call - 1st stage interview via zoom call with the manager (technical person), typical behavioural questions use STAR method to answer, from their line of questioning you could already tell where they are going and what kind of candidates they are looking for - 2nd stage interview via zoom call also with the technical person, one hour is allocated. line of questioning is very specific and based on your CV, no need to worry, as you should know your CV best.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      compared to the other candidates, they have a much stronger background in analytical chemistry than yours, why should we hire you regardless?
