Fragen im Vorstellungsgespräch bei Freudenberg Sealing Technologies

Recruiter reached out to schedule a 30min phone interview with the hiring manager. Recruiter ghosted after the phone interview with no response even after repeated follow up emails.

I had a 30-45 minute call with the hiring manager in which we reviewed mainly my resume and skills. Talked a lot about the day to day in past roles as well as projects. I was asked what I feel 3 skills others would use to describe me when asked. After the screening call she let me know that I would be coming back for a second round interview in person. Spent about 45 minutes touring the plant, she described the process flow and manufacturing process. I then met with two of the operations managers as well as the Engineering Manager. They all asked quite similar questions. Again I was asked what 3 words my co-workers would use to describe me. I was also asked to describe a weakness of mine. Although I do not remember the exact questions asked to me there was a good deal of conversation surrounding teamwork and communication, and my views on how to handle any issues that could come up relative to those aspects of the workplace. There was little to no technical questioning, at most I was asked to provide examples of projects in which I had used the technical skills listed on my resume.

4 rounds of interviews. Things felt a bit off from the beginning as the recruiter could not give me a clear idea of the role. I gradually started finding out it was one position for two facilities that used to operate as separate companies. I had one interview with each of the facility managers and could see that there was not much synergy between the two facilties. My fourth interview was rescheduled 1.5 hours before starting and I was not pleased. I did not get an offer and honestly I think that’s the best thing that could have happened. Working here would give me a headache as I think getting anything done here could be an uphill battle.

Very thoughtful and detailed interview making sure both general skill set as well as academic background fit the position. Interviewed by department head and HR-representative simultaneously in a one and a half hour session after having multiple telephone interviews.

Had an initial interview on campus. Invited back to an on-site interview to meet the team and see facility. The initial interview was with the manager, nothing too hard. The on site interview I spoke with a manufacturing engineer, design engineer, the manager, and an HR representative.

Brief phone interview and 1 week later I got on-site. Another week later on-site with several other managers. Technical questions were not too difficult. They were all nice and friendly.

There are total of 7 rounds including aptitude, psychological test, language test etc. Management Trainee program has a training period of 18 months. After that you will be given a permanent position depending on performance.

Ca. 2 bis 3 Wochen nach Eingang meiner Bewerbung wurde ich zum Vorstellungsgespräch in Weinheim eingeladen. Die Atmosphäre war sehr freundlich. Anwesend war eine Vertreterin aus der Personalabteilung und ein Vertreter der Fachabteilung. Zunächst wurde das Unternehmen vorgestellt und dann sollte ich mich relativ frei Vorstellen (Also kein "abarbeiten" von Fragen) . Anschließend ging es dann um die Stelle an sich und welche Aufgaben genau zu erledigen sind. Die Antwort auf das Gespräch kam dann innerhalb einer Woche.

After an online application, I got an email with a bunch of questions to answer. After few days, I got a phone call from the US office, and set an interview time. I visited the site (Tillsonburg, ON), and had an interview with two people (HR and plant operation). After the interview, I sent a follow-up letter twice: the day after the interview and two weeks after. However, I did not get any response from them.

The interview was on my previous experience in a machine workshop. It was only the HR who conducted the interview with me. I was given a for where I filled my previous work experience. Within a short time the interview ended. I was then told to go and do the medical test at a specific clinic. The following week, I resumed for the job.
