Production Operator Interview Questions

20 years setting up and running various production equipment.

They spoke so fast I had trouble understanding them.

Just say yes.

Past job, general manager let me conduct my very first interviews for my department that I manage. While giving me instructions on what to make sure to ask my potential employees, he waited to tell me at the very end of his instructions that I was not to hire any single moms for my department within this store. I was baffled as to why he was saying this because I myself was a single mother at the time. When I told him that was discrimination, and in no way was I going to disqualify a woman to train, because she was a mother. I was appalled, furious, embarrassed because I was the single mother applying here, and wondering if he didn't want me to get hired either, only to realize that I was the best thing that happened to my department for almost 5 years and I am considering leaving now because this man doesn't want to hire any other mothers because of baby sitting issues he has heard of in the past, and I was plain disgusted in this man after this statement. The man that I once turned to for advice on running my department in a way to please him and our Regional managers. I quickly lost all work ethic and enthusiasm in my job that I once took pride in. I immediately started looking for new employment and was working some where else in 6 months. I needed supportive GM, and co workers that do work as a team, not ones that are judging these woman the minute they walked in the door wondering if their were a mother. I am a mother and that is what I am most proud of in my life.

I am an excellent problem solver, as you know I have 3 children. One 11, one 10, and a year old so every day is a constant battle on how I am going to get the kids to get along with all three of them playing a game. I've brain stormed a million and one things and what it came down to was sitting them down and talking it out. Ideas of what needs to change, and encouraging these two or three to just try and give a little and give a little to the other one and take turns, say please and thank you, so no one takes anything the wrong way, and we can always work threw these with a little practice. and leave the personal outside in the car...but make sure to drop it as much as they can, so we can all enjoy our day, and get past it. :)

Yes.
