How does the interview process work?
Interviews are offered by invitation only. They are designed to provide our admissions committee more information about a candidate than can be captured on paper. Interviews are also an excellent opportunity for the candidate to learn more about the program. If you are selected to be interviewed, you will be contacted directly to set up a mutually-convenient date and time. Special arrangements will be made to accommodate applicants located outside the Boston area or outside the U.S. Applicants should set aside one hour for the interview. Admission decisions are announced at the conclusion of the interview. For more information, please contact the MBA Programs office at globalmba@suffolk.edu.
The hiring department will schedule face to face interviews. Depending on the position other job related testing may be scheduled. Applicants may also be required to return for further interviews. The department may also request additional applications from those who applied. If the department does not find a candidate they feel meets the qualifications they may re-post the position. Once the department has an applicant who meets the qualifications, they will make a contingent job offer (see below). Police and Fire applicants are initially ranked according to written scores. The department will schedule oral interviews. The number of interviews is dependent on the number requested by the hiring department. Therefore, all applicants may not necessarily be interviewed. Other steps in the process are conducted at various times such as background checks. Once a candidate has successfully completed all steps in the process they are put on an eligibility list for up to one year. At any time

In addition, some positions will require the applicant to meet with senior or extended members of the team. The interview process is a true dialogue where you can ask questions and learn as much about the group and Merck as we learn about you.
