I have my first interview for a 9-5, full time job out of college on Wednesday. It is for a purchasing position at a local company where a relative of mine happens to work.
The interview is three hours long with three different people (though one of them is HR with information). I already had a 58 minute phone interview with the HR person.
Me:
Graduating with a completely unrelated degree (Environmental Science), but the position does not require one
No experience in the field, but the position does not require it
My greatest disadvantage is that I do not have a business background, so during the interview I would not have a clue how to answer any specific questions. OTOH, I do have a relative working there that the interviewers know well and absolutely love. I believe that will result in them not asking questions they know I can't answer. While I do not have a business background, I AM very good at adapting to any situation, so I know that I would do very well in the position.
My biggest question is: What the HECK are we going to spend two hours doing? Also, any advice/thoughts you want to share would be appreciated.
