I was already working for Boeing and applying for a Quality Engineer position within the company. I received a phone call from a staff member who asked me when I could schedule a first-round phone interview. The phone interview consisted of five panelists and lasted for one hour. The questions asked were all behavioral, where I would be asked to describe a situation where I did this or that. The questions included:

• Describe a time when you demonstrated leadership.
• Describe a time when you influenced a group.
• Describe a time when you took the initiative to start something.

After the interview, I was asked if I had any questions. I was then told that they would let me know if I would be receiving a second-round interview. After a month, I received a phone call and was told I would be interviewed for a second round. This interview was done in person. The panelists consisted only of the manager and the HR representative. The questions asked were very similar in format to those asked during the first-round interview. Some questions might have been the same. A week later, I was offered the position and given 48 hours to accept or decline.
