      Sourcing Buyer Interview

      1 Jul 2012
      Anonymous employee
      Bengaluru
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IBM (Bengaluru) in Apr 2012

      Interview

      The job role was something I had never done or even heard of, but the kind of skills required were present in me... In a span of 6 months I have moved to a better role with more growth.. All I was said in the beginning of the interview was "you should be hardworking and eager to learn with interest, coz the skills required for the job still can be taught but if you dont have interest you will never be suitable for any job."
