Interview question about IATF 16949 2016

[Oumaima]

Hi,
I'm a fresh graduated engineer, my graduation project was "Updating the QMS to IATF 16949 2016 Standard".
What kind of questions can a recruiter ask about this project and the core tools of IATF 16949, given that i have worked with this plan in my project:

- Detailed study of ISO 9001: 2015 and IATF 16949: 2016
standards
- Realisation of gap analysis
- Drafting action plans
- Application of some corrective actions related to the process approach and risk based thinking
- Internal Audit
- Management review

One of the questions I would ask is: “What problems did you experience during the transition and how did you resolve them?”

To be eligible for certification the organization must make a manufactured part that goes on a vehicle, but this organization where i did my project isn't their speciality to make part that goes on a vehicle, they want to initiate the automotive industry, that's why they give me this subject to reduce some gaps between their QMS and the IATF 16949 requirements.
the problem is they didn't assign a suitable supervisor to the project i was working in, to resolve this I used the IATF 16949 2016 memory jogger, iso 9002, audit guide and internet forums for quality management.

a- How long did it took since you start the transition process until the company got certified?

b- What was the percentage of involvement that you got in this project? and why?

c- The company was a tier one or tier 2? how does that impacted in the QMS improvement?

I would not respond by stating that they did not assign a "suitable supervisor". This could be interpreted as being critical of the previous organization. Remember that you are in a job interview situation and should choose your words carefully.
