Started out with about a 30 minute phone interview, where they went over the basic questions of "have you ever been convicted of a felony, etc..." We then moved into scenario based questions about my past work history and how I dealt with adversity. Since this is a store leadership role we talked at lengths on my leadership style, and how I motivate my subordinates to follow me. We talked about my greatest achievements and my worst failures, again how do you pickup the pieces and move forward.
Tell us about a time you motivated an employee?
How would your employees describe you as a manager?
First off, I had more of a dialogue considering my previous experience in a field HEB is considering getting into for future prospective employees. I spent some time explaining my world and what certain titles meant/entailed. Questions: Tell me about yourself. How did you hear about us/how have you gotten to this point in the process? Why HEB? Have you interviewed with anyone else? (This was meant as a method to learn what interests me career-wise) How would your employees describe your leadership style? Biggest weaknesses? Biggest strengths? Name a time you intervened when someone demonstrated questionable integrity. Name a time you helped a specific employee or peer. When do you truly shine? What makes you uncomfortable in the workplace? How would you define a grey area? What are your hobbies? How do you handle work-life balance? Are you a thinker or a doer? Why did you choose your major?
What is the largest data set you've ever analyzed?
If you recruit vendors for the specific category of products, say Pet Care, and the selling price the vendor is offering is double of the one you need for that type of product, what other benefits you can offer to the vendor to entice him to lower the price?
Tell me about a time you made a calculated risk; Tell me a time you made a decision without notifying your boss; Tell me a time you did something that no one else in your team paid attention to.
Very standard tell me about yourself and then 2 behavioural questions based on leadership principles.
They pretty much asked me about my experiences and the way I handled certain projects during conflict, failure, etc. The big thing is you have to make sure you are relating your answers to Amazon’s leadership principles each time.
