Your Road to Success
GM Financial provides innovative auto finance solutions around the world. And we’ve hired some of the most creative, ambitious and talented professionals in the industry. It’s safe to say they all have one thing in common: Their careers with us started with a great interview.
We want to share four steps to help you prepare for your interview with GM Financial and what we’re looking for to help you represent your full abilities, highlight your accomplishments and interview with confidence.
Step One: Research
Be sure the role is right for you. GM Financial’s website has lots of great resources about who we are, the products, services and resources we provide and what we value.
Read the job description carefully to make sure it aligns with your experience and gets you excited to go to work. Pay special attention to the things that stand out about the role, like descriptions and expectations. If you know who you're interviewing with, look them up on LinkedIn to get an idea of their background and experience.
Pro tip: Stressed about your interview? Don’t be! We’re here to help you succeed. Look to the job description for the answers to key questions you’ll likely be asked.
STEP TWO: PREPARE
Now that you’re familiar with our company and the responsibilities needed for the job, think about how everything connects to your talents and accomplishments.
Be prepared to provide a detailed summary of your most recent experience and qualifications. Think of roles you’ve held, depth of responsibility, and the size or complexity of projects you managed.
How do you know which examples to share? That’s where your research comes in. Your most impactful stories will demonstrate to the interviewer how your experience aligns with the job description.
STEP THREE: DURING THE INTERVIEW
It’s time to shine! Take a deep breath and show us why you’re the best fit for this role. Come prepared with a concise summary of experience and examples that demonstrate how you think and behave. Highlight and share projects you’ve led and the impact you made.
Pro tip: Ask clarifying details to fully understand the interviewer’s question. It’s OK to pause and formulate your thoughts before you begin your answer.
When providing specific examples of your experience or competencies, sometimes it’s easier to remember EAO:
- E - Share a real-world EXAMPLE
- A - Talk about the ACTION you took
- O - Explain the OUTCOME of your action
Think about an opening and closing statement for your interview. Remember, you are ultimately demonstrating why YOU are the right person for the role. Be confident and put your best foot forward. If you clearly set up the situation and demonstrate results, it’ll be well received.
Pro tip: The interview panel has already reviewed your résumé, so don’t feel like you need to go over everything on it. Highlight your relevant experience, discuss technologies you’ve used and include the impact your actions had.
STEP FOUR: FINISH STRONG
An interview is a conversation. It’s our opportunity to get to know each other. Come to the interview prepared with a few questions that show you’re engaged and interested in the role.
A few questions you might want to ask:
- What kind of career development is available?
- How big is your team, and is it part of a larger department?
- Can you walk me through a typical day?
- What might my career path look like?
And while it’s not necessary, following up after the interview to express your interest in the role or anything else you’d like the interview team to know is always an appreciated gesture.
