How did it all come along? | One week after applying on Linkedin in October 2010, I was contacted by email by a French Headhunnter located in Toulouse in charge of recruiting people for 2 marketing positions (one in communication, the other one in avionics). Due to my background in the military as a helicopter pilot, I applied to both. After a Skype interview from Madrid the following week, I was invited to make 2 online tests: one on personnality, the other on complex environment comprehension (a mix of TOEFL and GMAT, but without maths) The HH cabinet told me that they presented my profile and tests results to the company and I passed the screening. I was invited to interviews in the company offices in Toulouse in December. Due to calendar conflicts, it was postponed to early January as they urgently needed someone for this position. I get interviews with the marketing director, the director of the aviation business unit (with a P&L), the HR department and the French office managing director on the 4th of January. On the 6th I received an offer I challenged on the compensation aspect. I week after I was hired to start early February. |
|||||
Most difficult part / question? | I did not know if passing the online tests was a good or a bad thing, as we saw during the recruitment process at IE that it was better not to go through this type of test before meeting face to face the employer. As I did not have the choice, I did them. In fact being invited to do the tests was only for those retained to continue the selection process. |
