I applied online. I interviewed at CNA Corporation in Dec 2025
Interview
The interview was very conversational and was a great opportunity to learn more about CNA. My interview had two parts: one ~15 minute interview with someone from HR and one ~30 minute interview with someone from the department. I submitted my application in October and was invited to interview in December. Make sure you know your research and ask questions!
The interview was very relaxed with questions focusing more on your previous research experience. They're primarily looking for research experience that relates to their current projects, and connecting your experience to their projects would make you a competitive candidate. Every interviewer were very supportive and genuinely interested in the work I did.

Question 1
They asked questions regarding my research experience on my resume. When I mentioned a bulletpoint, they would ask further questions such as "does the name [field topic] mean anything to you?" Your resume is great ammunition, so know it well!
We are glad to hear that you had a positive experience during your interview. We like to treat not only our employees, but our candidates, with the upmost respect and create an environment that is comfortable.
