Hiring Process for the Automotive Industry Jobs

What Is the Interview Process in the Automotive Industry?

  1. Complete an initial phone or video interview. In the case of a video interview, you may be asked to record your answers to questions within a certain time limit. This gives you the opportunity to carefully plan out your answers and re-record if necessary. These tasks are known as pre-recorded interviews.
  2. Visit a work site for an in-person interview. This interview will consist of general questions which will mostly be behavioral in nature. You should answer questions according to the STAR format:
    • S: state the situation
    • T: explain your task(s)
    • A: describe the actions you took
    • R: summarize the result

You should prepare for this interview by making a list of work-related challenges that you have faced in the past and the ways in which you overcame them.

  1. Complete a technical interview. You will be asked questions that are directly related to your position, such as questions about machinery, programs, products, or market–related questions. If you are a graduate, you will be asked about your grades and school projects as well as your relevant employment history.

 What Assessment Tests Will I Have to Take?

Employers want to hire workers who are best-suited for the position at hand, both personality-wise and skills-wise. To that end, you will need to take a personality test and a psychometric test. Personality tests may consist of a list of adjectives that you need to rank from most to least relevant to you. Alternatively, you may be presented with a set of statements and you must state whether you agree or disagree with each statement. Psychometric tests may evaluate your logical, numerical, or mechanical reasoning skills. You can practice for any test with JobTestPrep's tailored study guides and practice tests.
