Behavioral

Tell me about a class project or work experience where you had to analyze a process and find ways to make it more efficient or cheaper. What did you actually find?

whether the candidate has real, specific experience with process analysis rather than just familiarity with the concept

Tell me about a time you had to work with a team or department that had different priorities than yours. How did you get to a solution everyone could live with?

ability to navigate cross-functional friction, since the role spans manufacturing, planning, and vendor relationships

Describe a time you managed several tasks at once with competing deadlines. How did you decide what to tackle first?

time management and prioritization skills, which the posting explicitly calls out as required

Tell me about a leadership role you've held, in a club, job, or project. What was the hardest part of leading people who didn't report to you?

demonstrated leadership experience, which is explicitly listed as a preferred qualification

What made you choose supply chain as a major, and what part of it, planning, logistics, manufacturing, are you most curious to learn more about?

genuine interest and self-awareness about which internship track would suit them, not just a generic career answer

Tell me about a time you had to work independently on something with very little guidance. How did you know if you were on the right track?

ability to self-direct, since interns are expected to work independently on assignments

Technical

How comfortable are you with Excel, and can you give an example of a time you used it to solve a problem with a lot of data?

actual proficiency level versus just checking a box on a resume

Have you used SAP or any other ERP or planning system before? If not, how do you usually pick up new software quickly?

realistic expectations around SAP experience and evidence of a fast learning curve

If you had to explain what CPFR is and why a company would use it, what would you say?

whether the candidate did real homework on the specific supply chain concepts named in the posting versus generic supply chain knowledge

Situational

Walk me through how you'd approach balancing inventory levels against customer service goals if you were given a product with unpredictable demand.

basic grasp of the trade-off between inventory investment and service level that sits at the core of supply planning

Say a transportation vendor tells you they can't meet a delivery deadline that a major customer is counting on. What do you do in the next hour?

composure and prioritization under a real logistics disruption, and whether they think to communicate up and out

Imagine you're partway through a 12-week project and your data doesn't support the hypothesis you started with. What do you do?

intellectual honesty and adaptability when project assumptions break down mid-stream

You'll be presenting your project findings to senior leaders at the end of the summer. How would you prepare to explain a technical analysis to someone who isn't in the weeds with you every day?

communication and presentation skill tailored to a non-technical or senior audience
