I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at GE Aerospace (Lynn, MA) in May 2011
Interview
Applied online and secured a telephone interview with a hiring manager. The telephone interview went well and I was invited for an on-site. The on-site was a series of typical fit interviews and repeated reviews of my resume with multiple managers. The experience was pleasant and cordial. The overall interview took about 8 hours of the day including an hour lunch with other "recent" hires.
The interview process was quite easy, and I was surprised that there were no real technical questions beyond talking about my past experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Just the typical "Tell me about a time when you had a workplace conflict and how you resolved it."
