I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Robert Walters (Ámsterdam) in Jun 2016
Interview
Via een detacheringsbureau in contact mee gekomen, In de eerste ronde een gesprek gehad met de manager van de afdeling waar ik eventueel mee zou komen te werken. Hierin worden alle bedrijfsprocessen uitgelegd, vervolgens een tweede afspraak met een andere manager en ervoor een persoonlijkheidstest die in dit gesprek wordt doorgenomen om te kijken of je een geschikte kandidaat bent voor de functie. Tot slot de presentatieronde hierin moet jij jezelf neerzetten als consultant en proberen om de organisatie te verkopen aan de klant tegenover je.

Question 1
Ik ben tot aan de derde ronde gekomen met een Regional director Azie als ik me niet vergis. In deze ronde moet je jezelf presenteren als zijnde je al bij de organisatie werkt. (presentatieronde)
First interview was good. Interviewer was professional and informative. Second interview however was a bit off. It was with a Senior Recruiter. The interviewer was a few minutes late, spoke quickly as if in a hurry. Made a puzzled look everytime I answer as if I everything I said didn't make sense even though my answers still relate to the questions. Not sure if it's part of his recruitment tactic to test resilience/adaptability. Made a lot of statements as if to highlight my lack of compatibility to the job.
Professional process, I got to interview and received lots of insight about the industry, the benefits and challenges for the job from the hiring managers and the Country Manager. Everyone seems to be very decent, polite and thoughtful people.

Question 1
What is your career trajectory for the next 5 years?
The interview process was good overall. I first had an interview with the HR department, followed by a second interview with the director of the department I applied for. I had good conversations with both of them, and their answers were very clear and honest when I asked questions. However, since I came from a different industry, I decided to return to my previous field instead of challenging myself with a completely new one
