first thyssenkrupp interview (2009, house, hiring)

[cmm1959]

It sounds like that one guy really made a bad impression on you.My first interview the guy from stainless seem to like me more.They said if selected for stainless I would get a postcard Nov. or Dec. .

[stick4256]

Yeah the guy from stainless that I talked to was really nice and that is what he said sometime around then. I would like the stainless side, cold mill, hot strip or finishing but all of my experience is not those departments. That would be good if they called you for the stainless side.
I just did not understand his line of questioning it was totally off the wall and did not make any sense what so ever. I am not sure it was just so unusual its hard to put my finger on it. It was so unusual it made me wonder about that department altogether.

My friend just came back from his first interview at TK. He was told the same thing they might call him next week or next year.

[stick4256]

Yeah its crazy. I just believe they are going to miss a lot of good workers with this because within a year people may find a job elsewhere. I am just not sure about this AIDT stuff I guess it helps but I think it could be modified slightly for instance I know several people including myself who were laid off from but yet had to drive 300 miles twice before the classes then had to get a hotel and stay 4 nights then back for my first interview and luckily I had moved down here for my second interview. I just believe a lot of people have spent money for this opportunity and they could never be called or it may be a year or so from now. Some of those steps could have handled over the phone.

[Steel waiting]

Has there been any new hiring latley? I haven't seen anything since the first hourly employee was hired (breaking news) the first week of June. Does anyone know how they notify people if they are hired?

[stick4256]

They said it would be by phone but not sure. The last I heard they were starting to hire. I was told they would hire first the first group of like operator- Maint. people for the hot strip first because they will be the first on the carbon steel side to start running then hire for cold mill etc. stretched out over the next year and the entry level workers will be hired right before the mill actually starts.

[African USA citizen]

I am a german trained Maschinenschlosser with a lot of knowledge of the german steel system and speek fluent german. I worked in a german Co here in the USA and have introduced workers to the german prints as well the matric system. I think I do not need the training given localy. Is the anyhow I can forward my request directly to the company. Please post the HR info

[cmm1959]

The only way to be hired without the training, is to be hired salary not hourly.

[escape81]

[cmm1959]
