Interviewed Jan 2010 in Detroit, MI (took 2 days)
I was in the Midwest when scheduling the interview. The interviewing agency setup my flight and hotel details and a GM engineer picked me up from the airport. The first day of the interview consisted of some one on one interview questions and a plant tour. The second day of the interview was a skills test on the equipment I would be running. The people were very friendly and seem to enjoy their jobs. For others that are interviewing with GM, relax and be yourself.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Warren, MI (took a day)
I talked to them at a career fair, where they signed me up for a interview right away. On the day of the interview I sat down with 2 supply chain management analyst and a senior supply chain manager. They made me go throw my entire resume and asked behavior question indirectly. For example if you have some experience working at a fast food place, they asked so how did you deal with anger customers. The environment was very friendly and easy going.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Pontiac, MI (took a day)
Got a phone call that a manager had interest in my resume. The day off there was an orientation session and had two 1 on 1 interviews. Used the STAR system, which was tedious. However, the managers/interviewers were VERY friendly. They really seemed to enjoy their jobs, were happy talk to you about any questions or comments and gave very honest and straight forward answers. They took care of you from the beginning of the interview till you got out the door. Really enjoyed the interview.

Interviewed Apr 2008 in Detroit, MI (took 2 weeks)
This was an internal interview, as I already worked for the company, but I was up against many (8) other candidates. Expressed interest in the opportunity when approached with it from an Executive level manager. I then went through a series of several interviews with groups of individuals from the team I was seeking to join. Prepared information packets for the interviewers regarding my experience and also reseached their business enterprise in order to ask appropriate questions from them. The interviewing teams were reserved initially, but I was able to engage with them by asking questions about their business.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Warren, MI (took a day)
I worked at General Motors Technical Center between 2004 and 2006. After that, I moved to another state. Last year I moved back. When I was contacted by a friend, who works in GM technical center, two months ago, and asked if i would like to work for him as a contractor. I accept the offer since it is really hard to find a full-time job in Detroit metro area.
