      1 Answer

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente

      Interview

      Interview was not what was expected in the slightest. Panel members continuously harped on topics such as plumbing and welding when this was advertised as a plant operator position. There were two positions on Kaiser's website: "Operating Eningeer- Plant" and "Operating Engineer - Facilities", and I applied to the former. This may have been a mistake on HR's part, but the panel expected me to be experienced in every single trade when I expected to be interviewed for plant operations and maintenance. For the pay that was being offered, there was an unrealistically high level of knowledge they wanted across all trades.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Q: Are you skilled at using a drain auger? Q: How much welding and brazing have you done? Q: How much experience do you have taking apart pumps? Q: How much carpentry, painting, and drywall experience do you have? Q: What are the ratings of the equipment at the facility you currently work at? Q: Are you okay working with various foreign matter that patients have tried to flush down the drains?
