Initial phone interview by recruiter led to a shadowing opportunity within Operations Division which was of great help in the face to face interview. During the shadowing day, I learned a lot about Medtronic's vision, the terms/ language they used, current projects and the organization's structure. I was able to meet people that worked there and get a feel for the office environment without being "on the spot" on an interview day. This helped me apply Medtronic's language, vision and goals to my past experiences during the face to face interview, which I believe, ultimately made the difference in getting the job.
