Getting to interview

Once you've applied for a role at Ingram Micro, we'll review your application and then move on to the interview stage.

We use behavioral interviewing to help select applicants who have the skills, ability and qualities to take on and thrive in a new role.

We believe that past behavior is a good indicator of future performance—and that the experiences our candidates bring with them help us to understand how they'll handle future challenges.

Your interviewer will take time to walk you through the interview process on the day, but we think you’ll find it easier if you know the structure in advance.

3. SEEK A BALANCED PICTURE

4. CLOSE THE INTERVIEW
