I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Arch Coal in May 2014
Interview
Short history with H.R., More in depth with Department Manager. Both went well, there wasn't any written test, but as long as you have basic knowledge of electric motors and their functions, you should be fine. They are always in need of electricians, and probably will be for quite some time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Similarities of Y and Delta connected motors. Rather confusing, they are obviously dissimilar. Tried to show mathematical differences. Wasn't successful, later I figured out that the question was designed to test my knowledge.
