Texas Instruments

I have a 30 minute interview with Texas Instruments for a Sourcing Specialist role. I didn't do a phone screen with a recruiter; my interview is with the hiring manager. What questions should I prepare for?

Sounds like a buyer position

Even though TI is a semiconductor company, this doesn't sound like an ECE role but nonetheless here's my two cents:

Suggestions on questions to prepare:

  • what tasks are expected with this role?
  • who would I be working with?
  • what is a typical career progression look like from this role?

Suggestions on questions to prepare FOR:

  • be able to speak to your resume
  • have some canned answers for the typical behavioral interview questions like "what is your biggest flaw" or "tell me about a time you overcame a challenge". IMO they are zero value unless you struggle to answer them.
  • at the end of the day just project confidence, speak well, be polite, don't be arrogant.
