I applied for the Manufacturing Technician position online at the Red Cross career page. I was notified, one week later, for an interview at the facility. I was interviewed by two people, the manager of operations and a shift supervisor. I was asked general questions such as: Tell about yourself, Do you work well in groups? Why should I hire you? What are your experiences and skills? And many other behavioral questions. For this position, they were looking for a team player who can follow instructions and handle stressful situations. Then I was asked if I had any questions. This part of the interview is CRITICAL. I asked many questions relating to job. Technical questions and questions about the staff were thoroughly discussed and answered by the interviewers. Then I was given a tour of the manufacturing department in which I asked relevant questions about the process and products. One week after the interview, I was given an offer for the position - which I gladly accepted. I then was given forms to complete, background checks, drug testing material to prepare myself. One week after the offer, I was scheduled for the new employee orientation which lasts a week from 8am-5pm. It took me one month from applying to getting a job at the American Red Cross as a manufacturing technician.
