What can you expect to experience, and how can you best prepare for your interview with Exponent?

We interview both senior- and junior-level technical staff throughout the year. The interviewing process is crucial in determining whom we place in available positions. At Exponent we are looking for candidates who possess not only outstanding professional and/or academic credentials, but also a strong desire to succeed in a fast-paced, intellectually driven organization.

To help you prepare for a successful interview at Exponent, we offer the following suggestions:

Before your interview, think about what your ultimate career goals are and how this position may help you reach them. At Exponent, we look for ambitious people who know in which direction they are headed.
Remember, you will be interviewing us as well. Find out all you can about us on our website prior to your interview. We welcome questions.
Please arrive 15-20 minutes early to complete an application.
Bring extra copies of your resume, and a list of references. In addition, new college grads may be required to provide a copy of their transcript(s) (an unofficial copy will suffice).
Be prepared to give a presentation to a small group of Exponent staff. If you have prior consulting experience, we would like to see an exciting project you have worked on. If you are a new college grad, you can impress us with your thesis or dissertation project. Presentations should be 30-45 minutes in length.
You will likely be meeting several different people in various levels in our organization. Plan on spending half of a day to a full day interviewing with our technical staff.
At Exponent we foster a professional environment. Please come to your interview dressed accordingly. This is your chance to impress us with your talents, education, and professional attitude.
Be yourself! This is the most important thing we look for in an interviewee: someone with poise, confidence in oneself, and a genuine desire to succeed within Exponent.
