I applied online for absolutely everything that I thought I was qualified for at all (15 positions still pending).

There were no hits until I started loading my resume with keywords. They must use a database search to find people. After they select you, then you will get a chance to submit a second resume. So it's okay to fib a little on the first one, especially for entry-level work.

They had a hiring event, and I got flown up to Seattle, Washington. They paid for the ride and hotel. There were tons of people there for the event. I came up the night before, got on the Boeing bus the next day, a couple of hours before my first interview. You go in, sign up at the table, and wait for your name to be called. Then they take you back to the interview room. There were two people there; one had been with the company 30 years, the other had been there 20. They start out saying that it is a structured interview, and you will be asked the same questions as everyone else, etc.

Pro tip: There are five total questions.

The first is free answer. Short points about what background you have that relates to the job.

In the other four, use the STAR method. Also, if you go back and look at the job posting, then you will notice the General section under Competencies. The questions they ask relate to the Generals section. So be ready to answer a question about Communication, Collaboration, Decision Making, Customer Focus, etc. Go through those sections and make sure your answer touches on the key points.

Tell us about what experience, skills, or relevant background you have that relates to the position.

Collaboration/Communication: Tell us about a time you had to communicate with many different people to get a job done.
