First, I had a talk with a manager. Then, there was a technology familiarity assessment, covering PLC controllers, pneumatics, and hydraulics. It really depends on the branch, though. They also reviewed my former job accomplishments. Honestly, it was a duly uninspired and drawn out process that wasted way too much time.
