      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Unilever in Mar 2013

      Interview

      All the interview questions were based on the 5 core competences stated on Unilever website. Prepare a detailed situation to showcase each of these competences and you will do fine! Have a look at the key competences here: 1. Growth Mindset Has a passion for winning – asks “how can we be better than the competition; how can we be the best?” Seeks fresh opportunities – has a healthy dissatisfaction with the status quo, insisting on innovation; never settles for “good enough. Ambitious for growth – prepared to take on challenging work outside own comfort zone. Constantly builds capabilities for Growth. 2. Consumer and Customer Focus Has a passion for improving the lives of consumers – understands how own work helps to create better futures, everyday. Brings the voice of the consumer into everything we do – sees things through their eyes, ensuring consumer insights guide all our decisions. Externally focused – goes the extra mile in order to exceed consumer and customer expectations. Whatever his/her work is, always looks for better ways to serve consumers and customers. 3. Bias for action Brings a sense of urgency to getting things done – avoids over-debating or over-analyzing issues. Prepared to take tough decisions without delay – then galvanizes people to move forward. Results-focused, as opposed to just process-focused – keeps the end goal in sight at all times. Drives simplification in the company – gets rid of non-value-added complexity. 4. Accountability and Responsibility Makes commitments and holds self accountable for delivery – sees things through, even when the going gets tough. Takes pride in delivering work to the highest standards – acknowledges when things are not up to scratch. Lets people know clearly, on the front end, what he or she expects performance-wise. Holds people accountable—doesn’t let them off the hook. Acts with courage – not afraid to step in early or stand his/her ground, even if it’s difficult or unpopular. 5. Builds Talent and Teams Inspires through action – leads by example rather than words. Challenges people to do their best work and will settle for nothing less. Invests in people – coaches individuals/teams to realize their full potential. Drives effective teamwork – spots the links and connects the right people to create aligned teams and better solutions. Always searching for the best talent.
