Labor Ready Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details The process was nerve wrecking but worth it.
I prepared for 2 weeks.

Negotiation Details – easy it is across the board pay scale and you have the opportunity to bonus really good if you work hard which I did.

Interview Details After applying online through Career Builder, the corporate office contacts you for phone interview. About a week later the hiring manager will call to set up an interview. Nothing is filled out at the time of the interview. If they are interested in hiring you, they will call you back to come in the office 2-3 days later. Once you go into the office, you will fill out background check paperwork. Once they receive the results, you will be offered the position. Pretty fast process once the phone interview takes place. No drug screening.

Negotiation Details – No negotiating. Hourly rate is firm.

Interview Details The hiring process took a few weeks, but I personally thought that was a good thing, because they took the time to get to know me and to make sure I was a good fit for the company and that the company was a good fit for me. I got to do an observation during the Branch busy time (morning dispatch) and that was a great experience. I interviewed with the Branch Manager first, then the Corporate HR representative, then met with the Disrict Manager on 2 different occassions. They really took the time to make sure I was the right person for the job

Negotiation Details – I was able to negotiate my wage at a very fair price. Although this is not always the case, depends on how much experience you have and the first impressions you make.

Interview Details Applied online, was called in to the branch by the manager and interview. Then got a call from corporate to have a phone interview asking the same questions. Easy interview that focused more on why I needed a job than why I was qualified for the position.

Negotiation Details – Offered position, asked for higher wages and was told that they would look elsewhere if I did not accept.

Interview Details First, you'll meet with the branch manager and probably one or more CSR's in the office. The company provides a list of acceptable questions and gives each manager some flexibility in the questions, but they have to ask the same questions to each candidate to avoid any chance of bias or discrimination. It's all the cliche questions like Describe a time you faced adversity? and How often have you been late to work in the past two years? If you pass that interview you'll have a meeting with the district manager, and if you pass the DM then you're in.

Negotiation Details – Little negotiation is possible. They usually list an hourly range in the job posting, but you'll most likely start at the bottom of that range. The company keeps the pay range pretty consistent across the region, so a good wage in one location may not be as good in a more expensive location with a higher cost of living.

Interview Details There isn't really an interview process for a labor position.

Negotiation Details – None.

Interview Details After submitting my resume I had a phone interview with the District Manager (DM). Next was a call from HR, where I took an over the phone aptitude test. Then I had a face to face meeting with the DM, followed by phone interviews with an Area Sales Manager and then the Area Vice President. Finally I met the DM again to go out in the field and do presentations. I then had a full background check run and was finally offered the job.

Negotiation Details – There is a flat salary for each position in the company.
