I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at SGS in Feb 2023
Interview
The Interviewer made me feel comfortable. He gave me time to think and respond. He was open and honest about the job and its requirements. He was also friendly and told me a bit about himself and the company.
I first met with the manager and had a one on one interview. I was then given a tour of the facility before meeting with the supervisor and having another one on one interview. Both were very friendly and answered every question I had regarding the position.
