I spoke to another girl from my MBA cohort who interviewed for the same role the day before me but they were hiring a few people - she gave me some tips and tried to provide helpful info - she said it was a great interview overall, she already confirmed she got the position - she said the guy she interviewed with was great and he didn't ask her anything too difficult. Then I had my interview... I am not saying this because I did not get the role (I am happy I didn't get it, it wasn't a good fit anyway) - but what is very clear is that the man who interviewed me was absolutely biased (in favor of females ) based on the information my friend from business school provided. He asked me an entirely different series of questions, and in a pretentious, arrogant manner. I know this for a fact because he asked me "How much in sales do you think we do in just the candy department, company-wide for all of Walgreens??" What seems like a simple question - is often a trap - with this sort of question, the interviewer is looking to understand the way a person rationalizes or works through a problem, or if they even pause to rationalize it at all. Some just shoot from the hip and throw out a number (not good), you don't have to get the question right - what the interviewer is simply looking for to see how you think and how your brain works - if you can back your way into a somewhat reasonable estimate (ex: GDP growth for the entire US was 4% last year, and people spent less than 2-5% on discretionary, recreational spending etc.) When I asked my friend from my MBA cohort if she was asked the "candy" question or anything similar, she was shocked he asked me something that difficult - and she said she absolutely was not asked something like that.
