I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Rolls-Royce (Rotherham, England) in Dec 2016
Interview
Standard 1 hour interview on site. Entrance is pretty straightforward if you've been to a factory before, i.e. guard house report, escorted through, get placed in a room, interview commence.
Go through the CV, asked why you want to work here (industry vs academia), describe a manufacturing process. Very fast paced, the interviewer wanted to see if you can react quick (gets shut down if too lengthy words used/not straight to the point), understand the type of work within the factory, what role you wanted (3 advertised).
very straight forward an simple - basic questions - just understand the basics of a jet engine and you will be fine - you need to have a good cv to get past the ats scanners
Structured standard process developed by HR which is used world wide
First they asked about what you know about the company/ role to test if you have done your homework.
Sometimes they require you to prepare a presentation related to the role prior to the interview date. You will be given time to present.
Next you will be asked 2 or more scenario based questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a scenario where you have to overcome a challenge. What did you do? What was the outcome?
After a barebones phone screening with a recruiter, radio silence. Not even an automated rejection even after reaching out. The way jobs are treating candidates these days like they're disposable is ridiculous.
