I interviewed at Alcoa (Knoxville, TN) in Feb 2013
Interview
Applied online including a resume and a cover letter. I was set up with a 30 minute phone interview. Interview questions were quite difficult. As far as the technologies and tools the group used, it sounded like they were almost exclusively an Excel shop. I should have spent considerably more time learning about commodities pricing and the aluminum industry as a whole.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If federal interest rates increase, what will the effect be on the price of metal?
