Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 4 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Novartis (Praga) en ago 2023
Entrevista
Applied online and was declined as not matching the skill set. After a month I was headhunted by them saying I am a perfect candidate. I told them they declined me already but they confirmed it was a mistake and hiring manager would like to speak to me. 4 weeks later no reply. Feels like they do not really know what they want/need.
Tell me about your experience managing product categories. How do you create a category development strategy? What sources would you look at to discover consumer trends? How do you determine category ranging? How do you handle supply chain issues that affect your category? Tell me about a time you helped boost sales for a product category. Recall a time you had to negotiate with a retailer. What was the result? How do you use PnL as a category manager? What internal teams should a category manager collaborate with and why? How do you measure the success of your category management?
