Starts with a phone interview with HR to begin the process. Basic questions are asked to ensure you understand the position. You then receive online instructions to take an aptitude test and a personality test. This takes an hour. You then receive an email a few days later asking to set up an on-site interview. GM corporate is setting up the interview for the division. You receive a packet via email welcoming you to the interview process and what to expect.

I set up an interview and received no further directions. To my delight, there is no visitor parking. Luckily, because I had a GM vehicle, I could park a mile away in the close parking lot. I had to work my way through a maze of turnstiles and phone calls, remembering you were told to dress professionally and are ruining your dress shoes in the parking lot.

The interview is 2 hours, STAR format, and you are interviewed by two pairs of individuals. The first half was pleasant; the second became apparent I wasn't welcome.

While waiting for the plant tour, I noticed an interview training manual on the manager's table. Lame. Don't take the plant tour unless you are wearing walking shoes. They don't care what you are wearing; you will wreck your feet and ruin your suit. Huge disconnect between corporate and the plant.

Describe a project that was difficult and what challenges did you overcome.

Would you like a plant tour?
