Applied Manufacturing Technologies (Michigan) interview questions

I first met an AMT recruiter at a local job fair while I was in college (studying mechanical engineering). The first step I took was simply giving them a resume. A few days after, I received a phone call. We pretty much just had a conversation about my education and what AMT was about, it wasn't until halfway through that I realized it was an interview. The HR member that called me was very nice and pleasant to talk to. A few days after the very casual phone interview, I received an invitation to come out to the office for a day to interview there. There, I did a one-hour interview with each of the 5 engineering departments (Mechanical, Simulation, General Industries, Controls, and Robot Programming). Some of them asked specific questions about my skills or even gave me test questions, while others just had a conversation to get to know me. At the end of the day, I was asked which departments I was interested in. This was neat because AMT wanted to make sure to serve my interests instead of just their own. A week after that, I was offered a job in the Robot Programming group. I thought this was strange since I didn't know much about robots or programming, but they were looking for personality traits and a potential to learn, rather than raw education.

Initial interview is via phone. If you pass the phone interview, then you will be invited to the office for a "Round-Robin" interview. You meet with the head of each department (there are 5) and they determine 1) if you'd be a good fit for the company and if they determine that you are in fact a good fit for AMT, then they will determine 2) which department you'd be the best fit for. Usually this is pretty easy for them to discern based on your background, interests and skill level. Your willingness to travel is a large indicator of which departments you will/won't be considered for. It also gave me a good feeling about who I would want to work for at AMT, and where I could go if I choose to swap departments later in my career there.
