Nestlé Nesternship Internship Interview Questions: Real Questions from Candidates

Interview Process at a Glance

Nestlé Taiwan's summer internship (branded Nesternship in recent cycles) mirrors the full-time MT process but with fewer rounds, mostly running late March to late May:

• Application (around late March, English resume)
• Online stage: a motivation video (Why Nestlé, why should Nestlé hire you) plus an online game test (reflex games and scenario questions checking culture fit); some roles add an SHL test
• Round 1: line manager plus marketing director (or the supply chain manager group for SC roles), about 1 hour, all in Chinese, behavioral questions that dig into your resume
• Round 2: BU head, about 1 hour, all in Chinese, more about who you are, with roughly 20 minutes reserved for your questions

Note: the global "Nesternship" (for example in India) is an 8-week virtual program built around gamified Talent Games; the Taiwan internship uses the live interview process above. (Sources: Grace Wang Medium 2021 / mr.teeth Medium / Dcard)

Real Interview Questions from Candidates

Video and Motivation

• Why Nestlé? (Source: mr.teeth, supply chain internship)
• Why should Nestlé choose you? Show what makes you special or stronger than other candidates (Source: mr.teeth)
• 1-minute English self-introduction (Source: mr.teeth / Grace Wang 2021)

Resume and Behavioral (Round 1)

• Was this your only internship? Do you have any other relevant industry or project experience? (Source: Grace Wang 2021, CRM intern)
• What exactly did you do in your past internship, and what did the projects produce? (Source: Grace Wang 2021)
• In your past projects, what were you most proud of? What was most frustrating or challenging? (Source: Grace Wang 2021)
• Have you ever had your opinion rejected by others? (Source: Grace Wang 2021)
• Do you prefer working independently, in a team, or leading and assigning work as a leader? (Source: Grace Wang 2021)
• Can you give an example of setting a higher goal and achieving it? (Source: Grace Wang 2021)
• Can you share a time you took someone's advice and changed something? (Source: Grace Wang 2021)

The interviewer is effectively running a skills checklist (market research, ability to produce reports independently, logic, cross-functional communication). Each question confirms whether you have those, so aim your answers at them.

Technical and Situational

• Walk through a project experience; interviewers probe every step with "why did you decide that" (Source: mr.teeth, supply chain internship)
• Share a time you had a conflict with a team member (Source: mr.teeth)
• Which interests you more, Planning or Logistics? (Source: mr.teeth)
• What do you understand or imagine about this internship project? (Source: Grace Wang 2021)
• If your boss sets a target and expects you to hit it, how would you approach it? (Source: Grace Wang 2021)

Round 2 (BU head)

• How would your parents, siblings, friends, former managers, colleagues or classmates describe you? (Source: Grace Wang 2021). This round is about personality, so prepare your own questions to ask the manager.

How to Prepare for These Questions

• Nail the two video questions: Why Nestlé and Why you, delivering your differentiator within one minute (Source: mr.teeth)
• Reverse-engineer a skills list from the JD: map "market research, independent report writing, cross-functional communication, project management" onto your campus organizations and coursework projects, and prepare a story for each (Source: Grace Wang 2021)
• Prepare the decision logic for project questions: managers probe "why did you do it this way" step by step, so think through the reasoning and takeaway for each move (Source: mr.teeth)
• Prep the "how would others describe you" answer and your own questions for round 2: the BU head round is about knowing you as a person and reserves about 20 minutes for your questions (Source: Grace Wang 2021)
• Language is mostly Chinese, with the video and self-intro in English; stay relaxed on the game test and answer scenario items honestly against Nestlé's culture (Source: Grace Wang / mr.teeth)
