Contract to direct hire, started as a contractor but was hired on after 6 months. Work was an adjustment for a couple weeks, after that repetition and learning the product made it easier every month after that. Software was not taught, had experience and what I did not know I had to learn on my own while there, which was the best thing for me.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Boeing in Nov 2014
Interview
I was contacted by the hiring manager, she asked a few simple questions and scheduled a time later in the week for a structured telephone interview. I interviewed with a four person panel, and the entire thing lasted about 1 hr 15min. About an hour after the interview the hiring manager called again and wanted to set up a site visit.
The site visit was far less formal, I met the people I had talked with via the phone and was given a tour of the facility. The job offer from HR arrived about a week later, and I accepted
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I can't reveal the specific questions asked in the structured interview. Before the interview I devoted some time to thinking about my work experience; particularly thinking of events which could tie-in with the questions I might be asked. It helped.
I had a structured telephone interview, it consisted of four to five behavorial style questions. The interview was with two managers. The interview probably took about forty five minutes. I was told that my answers did not necessarily have from a work situation but also from experiences outside of work.
