I applied online. I interviewed at The Clorox Company (Oakland, CA) in Jul 2017
Interview
Interview process was very fast and smooth. Applied through LinkedIn and heard back from their internal recruiter the very next day. Scheduled a phone screen with one of the directors for the following week. Heard back from recruiter the next day for an on-site with the rest of the team and scheduled for following week. All in all, the interview process took about two weeks, and offer came the day after my onsite.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you dislike doing the most at your last position?
Really effective. Met with 4 different people from different departments but on the same brand team. Each asked similar questions, so they probably could work on diversifying questions. Great overall.
I applied online. I interviewed at The Clorox Company
Interview
I have over 15 y ears experience working for 2 of the largest CPG companies in the bay area, specifically in Sales/Consumer Insights. I was excited to see an open position at Clorox in a similar role........I have Microsoft Office Specialist Certification (MOS), and graduated from an old-school "secretarial school" with an Associates Degree in Legal Administration (basically a degree in "Secretary"). But apparently this does not qualify me for this position at Clorox where they require a Bachelors Degree. I don't understand this new trend........if I had gone to college and got a Bachelors Degree I would not be looking for an admin position.......and this feels a little like an updated episode of Mad Men.......how many men with degrees apply for these positions, I know that there are male Executive Assistants out there, but the percentage has to be less than 10%......so it seems the only way for a girl who has bothered to finish college to get a job in a major corporation is to start as an admin, and I who have chosen a career as an admin and have EXPERT level skills in all things needed for the position , do not qualify. Go figure.
