I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pentastar Aviation (Waterford, MI) in Jun 2012
Interview
A very casual panel interview with representatives from Purchasing, Finance, and HR. Basic questions. Conducted in a very nice conference room. Was shown the facility before the interview, and had to walk through a great deal of the facility before I was shown the room for the interview
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Can you give us a copy of your application? The application was about 6 pages long and included personal information like SS# and birthdate. Honestly, I wanted to see if I liked the people and the company before I handed that over. I said I would submit later (never did) and they were OK with that

Interview
Submitted resume through Career Builder. Started calling about three days after I submitted resume. Kept calling once a week. They must have pulled out my resume and gave me a pretty basic phone interview, then they arranged for an on site interview. The interview was with the manager of my department, the HR manager, and manager of Finance. Very nice people very professional. Typical interview. I was very overqualified and I think they could tell that. At the time I really needed a job, and this could have been a nice start, but not at my age. The facility is very very nice. Not sure how healthy this company is. They mentioned they had not received raises and that the 401k match stopped. Very basic Purchasing department doing mostly order fulfillment and not materials management. Oh they wanted an application during the interview. I did forget to bring that, and personally I hate giving someone a paper application during an interview because they spend more time flipping thru the pages than listening to the answers you give to interview questions. About 2 months after this interview, I got the ABSOLUTE dream job and I am so glad I did not take this job. I am sure the interview process helped, so take every chance you get to interview.

Question 1
Is this job a good fit for you, it seems like you have been more of a manager than a buyer
