Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at General Motors (GM).
Production Assistant
They showed a lack of consideration for people. I went through the whole process, passed the practical test, and did the pre-employment medical exam. We've been waiting in anticipation for over 3 months. Then, this week, they simply sent an email saying they wouldn't be continuing with the hiring, even though they hired several former employees who had previously left PVD. This is inconsiderate, especially after hyping up hiring over 200 positions on TV. We go there, dedicate ourselves, do everything right, only to find out they hired ex-employees who chose to leave the company. They even call GM a parent company. Terrible experience.
- What did you expect from GM
Production Supervisor
There were 2 separate interviews on the same day. Each interview was conducted with 2 people asking questions at a time. They use the STAR format with the addition on what you learned and how you applied it going forward. Be prepared to give examples using specific situations. They were more interested in what you learned from the situations. Also ask them questions about the environment which you will work, their experience, future growth and any thing else to aide in your decision making process. You are interviewing them as well so be engaged.
- Tell me about a time you were given a task with unclear instructions or goals.
Production Supervisor
It was a full behavioral interview, with what-if scenarios. The interview was with a two-person panel who had experience in the role before. They were good at coaching me through the questions, and providing more info for hard questions.
- What would you do if you saw a safety issue with a long-standing procedure, advised line workers to change it, but they refused and threatened to stop working?
- How do you handle a situation where line workers refuse to change a procedure due to safety concerns and threaten to stop working?
