The interview began with HR asking several scenario-based questions, focusing on how I handled various professional challenges. These questions included:
Describe a time when you planned and organized activities.
Describe a time when you had to work with diverse groups.
Describe a time when someone was performing unethical or unsafe acts, and you had to step in.
Describe a time when you had to be brave in a professional situation.
Describe a time when you had to accomplish a goal while managing timelines.
Describe a time when you had to plan an event with different groups.
Describe a time when you suggested or made improvements to a project.
There were about 8-9 questions of this nature, mainly focusing on how I handle tasks, problem-solve, and work in team environments.
Afterward, the Sales Manager took over and asked more sales-specific questions. She asked about my hobbies, and she tailored the question to sales by asking how I would promote and sell [product or service related to hobby] to a target group if it wasn’t the industry leader. She followed up with a question about promoting a new [product or service related to hobby] to attract customers, which was a creative challenge.
It was clear she was referencing a real-life scenario similar to promoting a smaller brand against industry giants, which I think was linked to the company's competition in the market (like how Mitsubishi competes with major players like GSK).
Lastly, she mentioned the role involved significant travel to meet doctors and psychiatrists at hospitals, and she asked me to describe how I would plan my travel.
Unfortunately, after the interview, I was ghosted by the company. I received no follow-up communication—neither an offer nor a rejection—which was disappointing given the time and effort put into the process.
