Question 1
How did you show leadership in a safety situation?
If you have something to do don’t bother the process is about an hour and a half long but very much worth it! The questions were very specific and the answers needed to be detailed but overall a great experience!

Question 1
Name a time when you had to train a difficult employee? How did you handle it? And what was the result?
Not too bad. Easy questions, and they really just wanted to hear that I was motivated to work there and work hard. It was a panel of 4 operators , asked normal questions that interview do. If I didn’t know a question I responded I’m unsure but would love to learn and they are that up.
