I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Boeing in Jun 2013
Interview
I applied online, got an interview a week later. The interview was scheduled to last 45 minutes, but mine lasted about an hour and a half. I receive an offer call from my boss after 3 hours. An effective PM is one that shows very strong empathetic skill and strength/confidence in their ability to lead and get the job done.
Remember, when you get an interview, they already think you're qualified. Make sure you are able to convey your social skills and passion for project management in your interview. It is by far one of the most difficult jobs to land due to the rare nature of someone who possesses strong social skill, technical prowess, and proven adaptability.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Make sure to display your personality up front. Do research on the company and think about why and how your skills can contribute to the company. This is true for any interview. STAR method questions are very straightforward. If you do your research, you may be able to predict a few questions they will ask. Be honest. I feel this advice was key to my success in getting an offer. Good luck!
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Boeing in Oct 2012
Interview
I meet with a campus recruiter and passed along my resume. That evening I was contacted by phone to set up an interview on campus the following morning. The interview consisted of basic behavior questions in the STAR format. After the interview I was contacted within 2 weeks and extended an offer to participate in the summer business internship experience.
Following that Boeing flew out interns for a matching event to find the best managers for each intern.
At the end of the summer I was given about a month to agree to coming back for another summer and/or job offer.

Interview
I applied online through Boeing's job website. A week or two later I was called to set up an interview over the phone. For the interview I called the number given and was connected with 3 people who would be interviewing me. The interview was your typical structured interview focused on scenario STAR based questions. Overall it was an easy interview, just make sure you study as many STAR questions as you can. I found it helpful to search for as many potential questions as I could and type out my answers to them. Since a lot of there interviews are done by phone you can just read back what you typed if you are asked one of those questions.
From what I hear job offers usually take a while after the interview, but my situation was a bit unusually due to the fact that I was called later that evening and was offered the job. While the offer was fast, passing the background check took a long time, roughly 4 weeks. I was worried about passing a credit check because my credit rather sucks and this was a finance position. However, everything cleared and I was given the soonest start date available.
