I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Lockheed Martin (Anaheim, CA) in Oct 2011
Interview
The interview was entirely behavioral. They asked to give examples of leadership, taking on challenges, and highlights from my educational/working experience. No technical questions. The interviewer was quiet and reserved while taking notes during my answers. I felt like I nailed the interview based on the conversation I had with the interviewer afterward. However, he explained that they interview many people at career conferences and keep them in a database. Most of the time, there are only a handful of jobs for very specific skill sets that they're searching for and the rest of the interviews go into some generic pile they might dive into at a later time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give me an example in which someone from one of your classes or work teams was not performing up to expectations. How did you handle the situation and what was the result.
Straightforward, focus on STAR method, tie that back to your resume. They use Full Spectrum Leadership principles that LM has set, so look into that as well. Make sure to have good examples that show both technical, managerial, and interpersonal skills.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you solved a challenging engineewring problem,
There were 2 interviewers, one manager, and a Systems Engineer Lead. There were 4 STAR Method questions. Within each question, they would get into some technical questions and go over the resume as well
Well organized and thoughtful interview. I prepared using the provided interview guide but should have spent more time preparing answers for how my former experience aligned with the job posting. Managers were not overly friendly, however, I could tell the team was not the correct fit for my personality.
