      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Elmhurst, IL) in Jul 2012

      Interview

      McMaster reached out to me without any solicitation. The HR representative first scheduled a phone interview, shortly after which I was extended an invitation for an in-person interview. The in-person interview was a few hours long. I met with multiple employees, all of whom were very cordial, intelligent, and accomplished. The interview also included a tour of their large facility (during which I was asked behavioral questions and prompted to analyze a business situation briefly), and lunch with one of the interviewers. It was a very welcoming, fair, and professional process.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      "How do you think it makes the most sense to organize our inventory given its constant turnover and requisite instant accessibility?"
      Answer question

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr in Sept 2020

      Interview

      The recruiter called me and asked me general questions about my style and related management experience. She told me a little more about the position. The general management role involves working on business processes, projects, etc. I never heard back from the recruiter after the initial phone call.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Describe how you manage multiple projects/tasks at a time.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr

      Interview

      A recruiter from McMaster-Carr contacted me and set up a phone interview. Even though I had sent my resume directly to the recruiter, she started the interview by asking whether I had sent my resume and then attempting to find it in her inbox. The disorganization was off-putting. The interview itself was pretty straightforward, with a resume walkthrough and some follow-up questions.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me about a task that didn't go according to plan. How did you handle it? What feedback did you receive?
      Answer question
