Entretien
First I received a phone call from an automated teller scheduling the interview a week later. They scheduled it at a hotel. Its a huge cattle call of other applicants. Once I arrived they sat us down in a meeting room with a HR representative giving us the big railroad lifestyle speech trying to weed out the non-willing. After their presentation they administer a simple (8th grade) reading comprehension test to see if you can read and interpret information. Once I passed the test we breaked for lunch. After lunch we all had our 1on 1 session with very common interview questions. Conflict with another co-worker, have you ever been late or fired from another job etc. They aren't looking for honest abes, they are looking for people who want the job and will show up on time!
