Give an example of a time when you didn't meet a commitment. Give an example of a time that you didn't meet a commitment to a team member. As I look back I feel like they only asked variations of this question. My boredom at answering this question surely came through, because a couple of my interviewers muffled yawns when I attempted to answer this question again. Because they all asked similar questions, I began to get confused about whether I had provided that particular example already. I even asked if I had told her about "that example" yet. I actually had a few dreams after the interview about the interview.

How do you approach strategic sourcing? How do you form relationships with your vendors? Are you able to leverage those relationships in your negotiations? Have you ever worked with" X (Semi conductor)" supply constraints? How did you solve the supply constraints? Most of the questions were heavily supply based, and vendor management based (considering supply chain shortages are effecting nearly everything right now).
