Interview questions [1]
Question 1
what do you want in a manager? what challenges do you preceive in this role? how do you handle conflict?
I applied online. I interviewed at Grainger (Lake Forest, IL) in Sept 2021
Interview
Long. Had 4 rounds of interviews. Made it to the final interview and then was informed they went with another candidate. The first is with HR and is pretty easy. 2nd is with who would be your direct manager and that is tougher. 3rd is with other managers so that they can get multiple opinions on a candidate. 4th is with the VP of sales
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Grainger (Quebec, QC) in Apr 2021
Interview
the interview was over the phone it when super smoothly was interesting to learn so many thing about the company during the interview. it was easy to reach them and they were always there to answer my question rapidly
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Grainger in Dec 2020
Interview
Contacted by recruiter, then set up a video meeting with two managers. They asked very specific questions in regards to my resume and were looking for what I contributed as opposed to a "team" effort. Was then passed on to the regional who again wanted me to go in depth in explaining my experiences and what I have learned from them and how I utilize time management.
