Likely interview questions for this role

Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

About your past

What made you interested in supply chain and purchasing, and what do you hope to learn here?

What they are checking: Whether their interest is real and specific enough that they will stay curious through routine intern work.

Tell me about a time you had to track down information from people who were slow to respond.

What they are checking: Whether they follow up politely and persistently, which is most of the daily work in purchasing.

Tell me about a project where you had to learn a new system or tool quickly.

What they are checking: Whether they can pick up an ERP or purchasing system without needing to be walked through every screen.

Tell me about a time you worked on a team where someone wasn't pulling their weight.

What they are checking: Whether they handle friction directly and respectfully instead of complaining or doing everything themselves in silence.

How do you keep track of many small tasks at once so nothing slips?

What they are checking: Whether they have a real system for organization, since purchasing interns juggle dozens of open items.

What would you do

If a supplier tells you a part for our generators will be three weeks late, who would you tell, and what would you ask the supplier?

What they are checking: Whether they think about downstream impact on production and know to escalate instead of sitting on bad news.

You notice a price on an invoice doesn't match the PO. What do you do?

What they are checking: Whether they catch details, check before assuming, and route discrepancies to the right person rather than ignoring them.

Our products include engines, generators and UPS systems. What do you think makes buying parts for those harder than buying office supplies?

What they are checking: Whether they can reason about lead times, specs, quality and supplier risk for engineered components.

About the work

How comfortable are you in Excel? Tell me how you would compare quotes from three suppliers for the same part.

What they are checking: Whether they can organize data and look beyond unit price to lead time, quality and shipping cost.

What is the difference between a purchase order and a quote, and why does it matter to get the PO right?

What they are checking: Whether they grasp basic procurement documents and that errors on a PO become real costs and delays.
