Q :Will I get IBM permanent job offer if I join IBM 2008 Blue Pathway internship program?
For students who maintain an excellent academic record and a positive work performance with IBM during internship,
we will seek to make permanent job offers to them later in 2008.
Particularly, most of 2008 Blue Pathway interns will be offered upon internship qualification; and more importantly,
if we have enough high-performance interns to offer, we will NOT conduct another round of campus recruitment at the end of the year 2008.

Q: There is a saying that IBM campus hire all comes from Blue Pathway Program, is that true?
We are moving toward that aim, however, right now, Blue Pathway Interns still can not meets
all the hiring requests from R&D and some other BUs.
In 2007, GBS, GDC, CRL, CDL did another round of campus recruitment in October.

Q: Can I apply for those positions which are not recruiting at my university?
A: Absolutely!! The postings on this web site are open to all eligible and qualified applicants.

Q: When will I receive a response after I submit my resume?
A:  Our recruitment system will keep updating your status once you submit your resume online.
Please come back to our website and log into your account regularly to check your status.

Q: Where are the jobs located?
A: The main locations are Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and there are also a few opportunities in other cities,
please help to check the job location in the Job Descriptions when you submit your applications.

Q: I have heard that IBM does not focus on the specific major requirements for the candidates.
   May I apply for the business unit which is not relevant to my education back ground?  
A: Potential and personal capabilities are the most important factors to be considered when we are doing recruitment.
Some of the functions might prefer some technical backgrounds; however, there are no strict criteria on the specialty.
But for R&D positions, computer related background is highly recommended.

Q: How many steps before I can get the final internship offer from IBM China?
A:
   There are generally four steps:
?  On-line Application submission
?  Paper Test
?  1st Round Interview
?  Final Interview (Individual Interviews or Assessment Center)

Q: Are interns required to take a paper test?
A: All candidates are required to take an IBM Aptitude Test.
Those who have satisfactory result will be short-listed to the next step for face to face interviews.
For R&D applicants, they need to take Technical Paper Test besides Aptitude Test.

Q: Will applicants take different aptitude test according to positions they apply for?
A: The same version of the aptitude test will be used for all applicants,
no matter what positions they apply for and what background they have,
as we believe the aptitude to be tested is fundamental to any prospective IBMer.
For R&D applicants (CDL opening and technical opening in Extreme Blue), an additional technical test is required.

Q: What kind of interviews will I receive? Will interviews be conducted in English or Chinese?
A: Human Resources Department and/or our vendor will conduct first round interviews
for all applicants and shortlist candidates for hiring managers’ second round interviews.
Qualified candidates will be invited to have face to face interviews with IBM hiring manager directly.
The interview methodology IBM uses is behavior-based structured interview.
That means we will ask you questions about previous experiences you have had in terms of competencies and technical skills.

Q: When do the jobs start?
A: For Blue Pathway Internship Program (non-R&D positions):
The jobs generally start in late June and end in early September 2008;
For Extreme Blue:
The jobs will start in early July and end in late September 2008:
For R&D positions:
The jobs will start and end anytime throughout 2008 depending upon project requirement and student’s availability.

Q: When will I get Offer?

Once we finish the 2nd round interview conducted by IBM hiring managers, the offers will be issued within 1 week in June 2008.
