A recruiter reached out about the role, asking for my resume and salary details. Then, I had a phone interview with the plant manager and operations manager. Next, I went to the plant for an in-person interview. Following that, I had a phone interview with the area manufacturing manager and then another phone interview with the VP of manufacturing. The recruiter kept me updated every couple of weeks, and I got an offer after about two months.

I was interviewed three times. First, I talked with HR. Then, I had a second interview with the operations manager. The last interview was with the manager and it lasted about two hours. They asked a lot of questions about what I could contribute to the company. Since I didn't have experience, they tailored their questions to that.

So the interview process was pretty standard. It started with a recruiter call to go over the basics and see if it was a good fit. Then, I had an onsite interview where I met with the hiring team.
