My last job, I took care of the company account. Yes, with this calculator. |
I did a few interviews and hire some of the best technician in my career, enough to know what fits what the job required, instinct to read their character and a little luck to bring in good hard working team.
Here's are my choice questions:
Technical or job related:
- Can you provide example some project or activities you work in your previous job?
- What do you like about your previous job and why did you leave your previous job?
- Have you ever work with ......? (e.g. SOP, certain test equipment, quality tools, Microsoft, SPC software etc)
- Have you any experience working with......? (e.g. Engineering, sales, production etc)
- How do you feel about putting extra hours/time if company requires it?
General:
- What do you see yourself in 5 years?
- What do you consider your biggest weakness?
- What do you know about our company?
- Why do you want to work with us?
- Do you have any questions you like to ask us?
Notice that my questions are specific, and it meant to be that way because a technician job is critical, meticulous and detail oriented. I try to save time and keep the interview time down to less than one hour. With this said, it is critical to get as much information you can from this face-to-face interview. Basically you need to pay attention to how the candidate respond to the above questions, they may not have the exact experience require for the job but if they do have technical background such as doing lab work in college, it may work in your favor too.
I have a great sense of humor. |
