Interview
Met with machining and assembly manager. Briefly reviewed my resume and then was presented with a drawing of an assembly to demonstrate my ability to effectively read the drawing. After this, I was given a tour of the workshop floor by a supervisor and that concluded the interview.
Friendly, open and transparent process. Questions asked were clear and the question I asked them were answered to satisfaction. Update was provided quite quick and benefits etc were explained. Job description could’ve been clearer, but verbal explanation was quite clear.
