I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at AAR (Miami, FL)
Interview
Came in, saw the shop. They asked me mechanical questions to see if i knew what i was talking about. Talked about the workflow and expectations. The interview was with a mechanic, not HR (The Floor Manager). Always better to talk to another blue-collar mechanic over HR anyday. Discussed our primary clients and what work we do. Simple and painless.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Example: What is a R.A.T.? (Ram Air Turbine) and What does it do?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at AAR (Wood Dale, IL) in Dec 2017
Interview
Initially had a call with HR which was great. They told me how great my qualifications for the position were and rushed me in for an in-person interview. The interview in the office was a completely different experience. I interviewed with two of the lead team members and the VP of HR. First, I waited for nearly 15 minutes in a conference room alone until someone finally came in. When the interview started, I was drilled about my resume. It wasn’t a “tell us about yourself or what you bring to the table” kind of interview. Those interviewing me showed little interest in my qualifications and myself as an individual. I was given a writing exercise for a mock press release, which I was given 25 minutes to complete. Overall, I think department members need better training when it comes to conducting an interview.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AAR (Wood Dale, IL) in Aug 2017
Interview
There was an initial phone screen with the recruiter. Next was an in person interview that was about an hour and a half long talking with senior repairs specialist. The final interview consisted of talking with senior leaders in the company to evaluate if I would be a good fit at the office.
