Step 4. Have additional interviews.

After your interview with a recruiter, you may have an additional phone conversation with the hiring manager. Then, we may call you to set up a face-to-face interview at a Schneider facility. We’ll provide you with specific interviewing details, based on the role you are interviewing for and the location of the position. You could have several interviews when you’re at Schneider, each with different members of the hiring team.

Step 5. Find out if you are chosen for the position. 

Members of the hiring team will work together to decide if you’re the best person for the job. If you are found successful during the interview, you will be required to pass a drug screen and background check prior to starting work.

4. Use real-life/specific examples

Schneider’s interview questions are based off behavioral-based interviewing. We look for specific examples from your story that illustrate past success that can be a foundation for future success.

Some questions that will help you think about specific examples could include:

• Can you provide some examples of technical work you have completed, including diagnostics and repairs?
• Tell me about a time you had to persuade another person to make a decision. How did you go about persuading that individual?
• Tell me about a time that you had to work on a technical project and it was a success. What steps did you take to make it a success?
