Awesome mate. Details pleaaassseee! I'd like to hear more about this interview.. pweeasee. 😁

Okeye... I'll make a report...
I'm a CNC Operator with 3 years experience (minimum in this job)
I'm a geek, a nerd, and already better than most, only because I don't stay stuck, I always try to improve.
I have knowledge in designing in 3D, programming in CAM (for CNC machines and 3d Printers) and work with most CNCs.
I learn very fast and adapt to a new machine in days.
Also, know a bit on computer programming and web programming.
Started playing with electronics this summer... now it's one of my addictions.
My biggest project in a CNC machine, a prototype for bigger CNC machines that I can sell for hobbiests and companies.
You pay €4000 for a decent very small CNC machine that can mill steel.
A normal CNC machine costs from €50 to €2000 per hour to Operate

So, This was my first Interview. I liked the company, modern, big machines... And I needed to impress.

You need to do it in 3 steps, tell about you, tell the negative stuff, then win the employer with a bomb.

Started to say my history (only the stuff that matters, regarding the subject, and because I had lots of jobs trow in some other specialties).
Always say that I had to many jobs because I just can't stay unemployed, I get bored really fast. (employers like to ear stuff like this, I can't stay at home, I must work even if it's a temporary job, it shows your dinamic and energetic)

Then I talked about my burn out (After not creating interest, since I only have the minimum 3 years required for a CNC operator) to drop the bomb. Got it fixed when said I got it by working, studying and sleep 4 hours for one year (shows endurance, willing to go furder, do more than most to achieve your objectives).

Now it's time for the bomb (continues)

You must find a way to say what you want, in my case, I started saying that I can learn really fast, I adapt to any CNC machine in a couple of days, I know programming. He: "What do you mean programming?"; Me: "Computer programming and also CAM; He: "OHHHhhhhhh....."
Then I said that I'm learning more on my own because I'm doing my CNC machine.
He: "You mean you bought a CNC machine? That's expensive"
Me: "No, I'm building one from scratch"
He: Stupidified face, then, Idolation face
He: "When do you want to start?"

@GyroGearloose that's great bro. Went through similar steps as you except I didn't get hired the same day. Lol nice work and thanks for details.

@bigus-dickus benadryl would be more useful tbh

🤤🤤🤤🤤

Btw this is a old post, got fired 2 weeks later.
I was learning a new machine and got fired because I wasn't produzing....
Even the office girls were like what?
Resuming, boss asked my old boss (the same who's responsible for my burn out) for references and fired me the same day

@GyroGearloose Ouch

Ya... Nasty, envious people just don't let go
