Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me a time when you had to lead a team with varying skill sets, how did you manage this, what was the task?
Three member panel intervie; each asked a question or two. There was no feedback after each answer but they did provide time to ask questions. It lasted 20 mins or so.
had a panel of five managers and supervisors and they all took turn asking questions and was a comfortable experience. I was prepared for the types of questions that they would be asking and related them to my experience.
