Likely interview questions for this role
Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past
Have you driven a forklift before? Tell me about where you did it and what kind of loads you moved.
What they are checking: How much forklift experience is real, so they know how much training and supervision to plan for.
The curing area is hot, dusty and loud, and you will be lifting up to 50 pounds often. Tell me about a job where you did steady physical work in conditions like that.
What they are checking: Whether they understand what the shift will feel like and have shown they can keep going through it.
You need to wear hearing protection and steel toe shoes the whole time. Tell me about a time you followed a safety rule even when it felt like a hassle.
What they are checking: Whether safety rules are habits for them or something they only do when a supervisor is watching.
Tell me about a time a supervisor or trainer corrected how you were doing something. How did you take it?
What they are checking: Whether they can take correction during training without getting defensive, since this role depends on learning the plant's way.
What would you do
You walk up to a mold and notice a hose on the floor and a puddle near the press. What do you do before you start cleaning?
What they are checking: Whether they deal with hazards first or work around them to save time, which is how people get hurt in a tire plant.
New hires usually land on a shift with evenings and weekends. How would that fit with the rest of your life right now?
What they are checking: Whether they will still show up in month three, since schedule conflicts drive early quits on off shifts.
You are partway through cleaning a mold and the dry ice machine starts acting strange. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they stop and report a problem rather than forcing a machine that runs at high pressure.
About the work
This job means running a high pressure dry ice machine to clean molds. Before you start it up, what would you check on the machine and around the press?
What they are checking: Whether they slow down to inspect equipment and the work area before running something that can hurt them or others.
When you finish with the dry ice gear, it goes back into the store area. Why does it matter how you put it away?
What they are checking: Whether they see that the next person depends on finding equipment in working order and in the right place.
Forklifts and people on foot share the same aisles here. What do you do to stay safe when you are driving through a busy area?
What they are checking: Whether they know the basic habits of horn, speed, eye contact and right of way around pedestrians.
