First interview with HR. Then you take a mechanical aptitude test along with a personality test to ensure you're a good fit for the job. If you pass these tests you and selected you will move on to a 2nd interview, then role playing. Once this is complete, you fly to the PA office to meet with leadership and interview there. After this point you should know whether they will extend an offer. It's an extensive interview process that takes 3-4 weeks to ensure you're the right candidate for the job.

Describe a time that you went above and beyond your general expectations in work.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at ifm efector
Interview
The first interview was a standard vetting process by someone in HR. I liked the interview and thought I could see myself at this company. It was pretty easy, just be polite and advocate for yourself. Also ask questions to the interviewer to show your enthusiasm. After the interview I was told that I had advanced to the next round which is the Bennett mechanical aptitude test. There's practice tests online. I aced the mechanical test and moved on to the Caliper personality test round. I did not pass the personality test apparently. I say apparently because I GOT GHOSTED BY THE HIRING TEAM. Through reddit research I have come to the conclusion that something in my personality test indicated that aspects of my personality are "not coachable" and thus boom I'm no longer a candidate for the job.
My advice is: do not show a speck of empathy/feelings/sympathy on the personality test - they will ghost you.
