I have an interview with Lockheed Martin tomorrow...

[AznMaverick]

I going to graduate this winter and looking for a job. Aside from the usual questions about that ask what i'm good at or what my hobbies are, what should i expect?

 

[ed21x]

Why did you choose to go to your University? What can we expect you to contribute to the corporate culture here at ____. Describe your weaknesses.

 

[imported_booradley]

Expect to be offered drugs. Accept.

 

[SilentZero]

Normally such jobs have multiple interview stages (at least my last job did at the DoD), so if its your first, there will probably be the usual questions about your experience, interests, motivation, etc. Depending on the position, expect more comprehensive interviews to come. I had 3 interviews for my last job, had to go through a 3 month long background check for my security clearance, polygraph, etc. So just go in confident and positive and you should get a second interview.

 

[sygyzy]

Wow, your experience is alot different than mine. Then again you work for DoD and I do Defense Contracting.

 

[drsafety]

lmao@ drugs. haha.

be prepared to discuss everything on your resume in detail. Also try to convey qualities that show you are a natural engineer - inquisitive, like science, like to build/take things apart, figure out how they work, etc.

 

[panipoori]

Red or Blue pill?

What campus, what positions are you interviewing for ?

Last I recall, yoou may get a series of interviews by multiple managers or supervisors.
After a lunch break you may have a couple more ending wwith the next level of managment - after they havce a breif caucus.

They may be prepared to tender a conditional offer, or they may have you re-establish contact at a pre-determined time.
Doors open and close quickly, if an offer is made the window of opportunity may close within 60 days.
Program personell loading is dependant on budget and workload, jump if you can, the door may close soon.

 

[Rickten]

bring paper and pen with you. Have questions ready that you want to ask them. Maybe check out the website and find out what is going on at the site you are applying to and ask questions about that. Get mailing addresses if you don't already have them so you can mail thank you letters. These are just a few things you should do.

 

[Sukhoi]

It'll probably be the standard behavorial interview.

"Describe a time when you lead a team."

"Describe a time when your team sucked and you fixed it."

"Describe a time when you fixed a problem."

"Describe a time when you succeeded."

Can you tell I just had a 2-hour behavorial interview today?

 

[BrokenVisage]

Lockheed Martin this and Lockheed Martin that, my CS professor NEVER shuts up about them. He act's like they're the only company that employs IT people, seriously. Two of the kids in my class work there rght now (one interns the other has worked there for a while) and both say it's pretty tough and it won't be uncommon to sleep there overnight while working on projects.. I would never work there unless they offered some incredible stuff, otherwise no thank you.

 

[thirdlegstump]

What makes you a more attractive candidate than others for this position? Speak humbly.

 

[gnumantsc]

You should expect to kiss Dick Cheney's ass for a pay raise and say Mr. Bush should be re-elected for another 4 years. It'll fly the more Bush and those brainwashed morons in the whitehouse are spreading fear and people believing it the more money they make.

Good luck with the job btw.

 

[JulesMaximus]

The usual...full body cavity search, anal probe, lie detector, drug test, etc.

HAHA you guys are funny! I'm interviewing at university of hawaii for an EE position

 

[kstu]

theyll probably ask you why youre interested in Lockheed Marting.

Make Sure You Have a Good Answer

 

[Ready]

Why would you want to work for a company that will be crushed by Raytheon?

 

[bunker]

Expect to be offered a sh1t salary and really crappy benefits. I turned them down a little over a year ago.

 

[ajpa123]

Ask em if rides in SR-71's are a perk.

 

[Triumph]

If the interview didn't go well, theyll tell you something like, "We'll send your resume around and see if any of our other divisions are interested in you." Which means you didn't get the job.
