The program recruits through universities. Individuals must "pass" the pre-screening interview in order to make it to the final interview stage. The company conducted a night before interview reception where all questions could be answered and more information about the program was provided. The overall interview consisted of five (5) 1:1 interviews with the program coordinator, assignment leaders, plant managers, and other GE employees. Each interview was behavioral based, with the intent of finding out your leadership skills and ability to fit in with the competition. Know your resume, more than one leadership experience, internship experience, and strengths and weaknesses. All interviewers were very friendly and open to any questions. It was made clear that GE employees do not work the typical 40 hrs/week. Some current program members noted that they often work Saturdays and even multiple shifts.

After meeting with recruiters at career fairs on campus, I was asked to schedule a 1:1 interview. First, we went over specific things from my resume. There were about 5 behavioral questions after that, and then I was given the opportunity to ask my interviewer questions.
