I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at International Paper
Interview
The interview process was largely based on behavioral questions. Their main concerns are safety and experience in a manufacturing setting doesn't hurt. They ask about your possible experiences or to explain some things on your resume. There were a few reaction questions, or "name a time when x happened and you had to do yz to solve it. The biggest suggestion is to be personable and positive about being there.

Question 1
1. Introduce yourself to us
2. What does safety mean to you?
3. Have you ever had difficulties with someone at your work, and how did you resolve this?
4. How do you manage your time?
It was done over the phone. There was a panel and each person asked a unique question or gave unique experience. The questions and experiences seemed very direct and after working for several months, I realized that they were applicable to the job.
Normal interview process, panel asked questions and I answered the questions. Very typical of this type of work. Very friendly interviewers, no stress in the interview, very positive process. No need to worry, they want you to succeed.
