I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Richardson Manufacturing Company (Springfield, IL) in Feb 2018
Interview
Gave me a simple math test to prove I could add and subtract small numbers with a calculator. All math could have been done in my head. Not sure why me being able to add 0.456 + 0.125 made me qualified to be a machine operator. But oh well, got the job
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you read a micrometer. Can you read calipers. Can you use a calculator? Yes on any of those gets you hired.
