I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Clean Water Services (Hillsboro, OR) in May 2012
Interview
Knew someone working there at the time. They put me in contact with the Operations manager. We went back and forth over a few emails. Then did a phone interview. He mostly asked about my past experience with manual labor. He also stressed this was a physically demanding job (it was indeed). I assured him I was up for it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Please describe your manual labor experience and your familiarity with hand tools.
