I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Strålfors AB (Ljungby, Kronoberg) in Nov 2011
Interview
Informal. I called a friend who worked there and asked if they needed extra help before christmas. His boss called me up later that week and I started the monday after.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There was no interview. Although, I had been involved with the company before, therfore the process most certainly was significantly sped up. Additionally everybody who gets employed must undergo a security scrutiny, verifying that there are no criminal charges on that persons name. That will be done after every two years, making sure that no criminal charges have arisen under that time. Nowadays, through negotiation with the union, that does not mean immeadiately discharge, but meeting together with the union trying to find a solution that is good enough for all involved parties.
