I applied online. I interviewed at Regeneron (Tarrytown, NY) in Sept 2014
Interview
After applying on line, I received communication from HR desk yesterday. An email was sent to me stating the position as a "work at home position. I was told to set up an AOL account for Instant Messaging, which I did. I was told when to sign on for the initial interview - 10:00, Sept 5, 2014. I answered questions for approx 1 hour. Salary and benefits were included in the email. My initial interview was a questionnaire through AIM. I am waiting for the next phase.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical HR questions regarding situations that I have dealt with in the past. Hardest question was, "Why should we hire you" and the "strengths and weaknesses question. It was weird to do an interview through Instant Messaging. I was told I has to set up an AOL account in order to communicate with Human Resources. At first, I thought it was one of those scams on the internet.
