Submit resume, quick phone screen, then a panel discussion. Room was like a giant class room with all the other managers at the front. It honestly felt a little weird with the separation between them and me.

Interview

The initial interview was on the phone with two members of the team. Basically, it was just a review of my resume, my past experiences, and the typical management and supervision questions. Nothing out of the ordinary.

The in-person interview was at the Alcoa plant. First, we did a plant tour, met with some of the staff, and discussed Alcoa and the future of Alcoa in the area. The interview was broken down into two seperate sections. First, we did a interview utilizing a computer to gauge my computer skills.

Question 1...I was given the task to generate a email and order some safety supplies from a distributor...easy

Question 2..I needed to research a fault motor that had been identified from one of the tech. Also uses some outdated, systems and the entire spare part inventory is in excel. So, being able to sort out items and finding what you need on excel is crucial...if you can sort data, and "CTRL-F" you will be ok

Question 3..Plan out a maintence schedule for some preventive maintenance. I didn't do to well on this. This is where my lack of excel use was showing. I should have sorted out the data, and filtered the cells, before I tried to copy paste the info. Once again..if you are good at excel, you will be good...if not watch some youtube videos and practice.

Second part of the interview was scenario and personality questions..all the typical, no surprises
