      International Management Trainee Interview

      19 Apr 2010
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Kuala Lumpur
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meltwater (Kuala Lumpur) in Apr 2010

      Interview

      That interviewer spent half an hour asking sales sales sales centric question and questions like "How are you going to be a good manager?" and "What would you do to motivate your subordinates to do more sales?" Don't be fooled by the glorified "International Management Trainee" title. They just want to hire you as a SALESMAN. Period. There's nothing more to it. How do I know? Well, it's very simple. I was told I'm not cut out for this "sales intensive job" as I'm more suited for a "well structured corporate career" as I told them I prioritize work-life balance. According to the interviewer, I lack sales experience and knowledge. DUH! I came from an electronics engineering background. If they're looking for people with sales knowledge they should've just said they only accept a degree in sales/marketing rather than opening the position to degree holders of ANY discipline. What else? Oh, apparently I don't come across as someone "aggressive" as they need four(4) such people to set up their first ever office in Malaysia and push their products to each and every conceivable corporation out there. Listen, they're coming here with a team of FOUR Management Trainees and probably another TWO of their existing managers to take on the Malaysian market! Setting up a new office with 6 people, 4 of whom are newbies! Doesn't that show how ambitious (or not) they are! When I asked the interviewer if they see any potential market here for their products, he answered "Oh yeah! Definitely! It's a HUGE untapped market for our products there. That's why we're setting our first office in KL". So people, you're in for a salesman interview. Good luck trying to sell yourself. Oh wait, if you successfully sell yourself you'd make a good salesman, just what they're looking for.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How do you, as a manager, motivate your subordinate if he/she is demotivated from his/her job?

      International Management Trainee Interview

      29 Sept 2023
      Anonymous employee
      Amsterdam
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meltwater (Amsterdam)

      Interview

      De sollicitatie bestaat uit het schrijven van een brief, een Meet Meltwater dag (digitaal of fysiek), een groepsronde en een individueel gesprek. In de groepsronde doel je verschillende opdrachten zoals een debat en het pitchen van jezelf. Het individuele gesprek is gaaf maar kan intimiderend zijn: er zitten veel mensen tegenover je. De intensiteit is echter voor een reden, je zult met klanten ook je mannetje moeten kunnen staan!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Noem 10 bekende Nederlandse multinationals. Wat weet je over de structuur van Meltwater? Waarom ben jij een geschikte manager? Noem een moeilijke situatie waarin je je bevond en hoe je hierin handelde.
