Interviewing as a process operator

Really only two questions to ask.

1 - How hard do you baw?

2 - How many zeroes do you want at the end of your check?

If you are taller than 5’6” they won’t hire you

Are you morally corrupt enough to continually lie about what you make?

Will you work every weekend and holiday?

Can you see if a needle is between the pizza slice?

Do you own Wolverines, "nice jeans" and a plethora of Magellan shirts?

Are you willing to finance a F250 for 96 months at $750/month

Most of the questions at our plant started with " tell me about a time" .
Most of the questions were behavior based. Tell me a time that you had a disagreement with a co worker and how was it solved. Or if you saw a coworker putting product to the atmosphere or on the ground what would u do.. and I'm taller than 5'6 and don't have an f250. Infact I drive a small car because of the gas milage and leave my truck parked.

Look up S.T.A.R method. Many HR folks will ask that you use this to answer all of their questions. Safety first, always. If you don't have any experience, how do your current job skills carry over to work in a plant? Attendance/punctuality are important to you.
Procedures are meant to follow.
Be a good employee, they will train you to be a good operator.

Put safety ahead of everything. Team work. Just be polite and act like yourself.

I hate when they ask about your past work experiences. I don't go through life thinking, "Oh, this is a good moment that I can use for an interview 7 years from now". I can't ever remember that stuff, so I always try to turn the conversation to casual shite, which limits the amount of dumb HR questions they can ask.

I had one woman ask, "Outside of work, who do you turn to when you have emotional problems?"

This is probably why your unemployed...

"so what do you think is one of your strengths in the workplace?"

"so how about that game, huh?"

What immediately came to mind was, "I don't have emotional problems, because I'm not a woman". She was the only woman in there, and I had to stop myself from saying that. IIRC, I told her no one, I just deal with it and move on. She asked the same question again a different way, and got annoyed that I gave her the same answer and looked at the other people for my next question.

I've always believed that if you can't get a sense of who people are through casual conversation, you shouldn't be doing interviews
