0:00 hey guys it's me


jessica here corporal

0:02 recruiter

0:03 and today i want to do


a follow-up video

0:06 to

0:07 a video i made really


one of my first

0:10 videos

0:10 which was tips for


interviewing for a

0:14 forklift operator job and


so today

0:16 i want to talk about a


production

0:18 operator job

0:20 and a few quick tips for


if you are

0:22 interviewing for this


type of job

0:24 so the number one


thing i want to talk

0:26 about is

20/12/22, 21:41 (6493) Production Operator Job Interview Tips (former Nestlé Purina Recruiter) - YouTube

0:27 i i would suggest for


someone that's

0:31 interviewing for a


production operator

0:32 job to have a good


idea of what their

0:35 availability

0:36 might look like to work


and i say this

0:39 because typically

0:40 you're going to be


looking at some

0:42 different type of shifts

0:44 either there's going to


be a day shift

0:46 and a night shift

0:47 you're generally


working more hours

0:49 maybe you're working


like 10 to 12 hours

0:52 or you're going to have


three different

0:53 shifts there's going to


be like a

0:54 morning

0:55 midday or evening or


night shift

0:58 and i would suggest


knowing this right

1:01 off the bat the recruiter

1:03 or the person that


gives you that first

1:04 interview will ask you


about your

1:06 availability

1:08 one tip is if you are


available in

1:10 flexible's work any of


those shifts

1:13 definitely share that


because that's

1:15 always a good thing

1:17 in the factories they


definitely look

1:19 for that type of


flexibility and

1:20 sometimes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHW5672VqL4 3/16
20/12/22, 21:41 (6493) Production Operator Job Interview Tips (former Nestlé Purina Recruiter) - YouTube

1:21 they really need to fill


for one

1:23 specific shift

1:25 at a time so if you're


flexible that

1:27 will work in your


benefit

1:29 the other thing you


want to keep in mind

1:30 is you want to know if


you're going to

1:32 be available to work

1:34 holidays and


weekends as well

1:37 that could also be a


nice plus factor

1:39 for you

1:40 because as you can


imagine those are

1:42 tougher

1:43 uh shifts to fill so if


you're available

1:46 weekends

20/12/22, 21:41 (6493) Production Operator Job Interview Tips (former Nestlé Purina Recruiter) - YouTube

1:47 holidays that can really


work in your

1:49 favor as well

1:50 the next thing i want to


talk about is

1:52 you know you are


going to be asked

1:54 by the recruiter or


whoever is that

1:57 first person that does


that phone

1:58 interview with you

2:00 or maybe it's a virtual


video interview

2:02 with you

2:03 you're going to be


asked about your work

2:05 history so this is


something i've seen

2:08 when interviewing


forklift operators

2:11 production operators

2:13 different types of


factory roles or

20/12/22, 21:41 (6493) Production Operator Job Interview Tips (former Nestlé Purina Recruiter) - YouTube

2:15 general labor

2:16 world roles even and


with these jobs

2:20 some people will have


resumes while

2:21 others don't have


resumes and they're

2:23 a lot of times they're


trying to refer

2:25 from their memory

2:27 what their experience


looked like a lot

2:29 of companies will need


to verify

2:31 dates of employment


for you and it gets

2:34 really challenging

2:35 if you do not have a


resume put together

2:38 put together a resume


just take the time

2:40 to do that because it


will make it

2:42 extremely extremely

20/12/22, 21:41 (6493) Production Operator Job Interview Tips (former Nestlé Purina Recruiter) - YouTube

easier for you

2:46 as you're sharing


about your work

2:48 history and confirming


those different

2:50 dates of employment

2:51 so when you're not like


you know walking

2:54 through your

2:55 experience and really


taking a bunch of

2:57 time to think

2:58 or you know giving the


wrong information

3:01 some companies will


perform background

3:03 checks before you're


hired so you

3:05 definitely want to make


sure you have

3:07 your work experience


and everything

3:08 buttoned up and again


the best way

20/12/22, 21:41 (6493) Production Operator Job Interview Tips (former Nestlé Purina Recruiter) - YouTube

3:11 and easiest way where


you can do that

3:13 and also keep track

3:14 of your work


experience is by using
a

3:17 resume

3:19 now the next thing


you're definitely

3:22 going to

3:22 highlight as you're


talking about your

3:24 experience is to share

3:25 any factory or


warehouse related
jobs

3:29 and if you don't have


factory or

3:30 warehouse experience


already

3:32 it'll be really good to


just share any

3:34 experience you have

3:35 in a fast-paced

20/12/22, 21:41 (6493) Production Operator Job Interview Tips (former Nestlé Purina Recruiter) - YouTube

environment so if you

3:38 have maybe retail


experience really

3:40 highlight

3:41 how you're able to


work in a fast pace

3:44 because as you can


imagine in factories

3:46 and warehouses

3:47 um a lot of time you're


pushing a ton of

3:49 product and you have

3:50 specific goals that you


have to meet uh

3:52 within different time

3:54 frames so definitely


talk about your

3:56 ability to

3:58 work in a fast pace


and then the other

4:01 thing i just want to talk


about is make

4:03 sure that you're telling


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHW5672VqL4 9/16
20/12/22, 21:41 (6493) Production Operator Job Interview Tips (former Nestlé Purina Recruiter) - YouTube

them that you

4:04 you know telling them


a few reasons why

4:06 you're interested in


that specific

4:08 company maybe you


believe in the mission

4:10 maybe you really like


the products

4:13 maybe you've heard


about the company

4:15 from a friend have


some type of reason a

4:17 lot of times the


recruiter will ask

4:19 why you're interested


so you just want

4:21 to be ready to say


something

4:24 not just kind of the


standard while i'm

4:26 looking for a job

4:27 really be able to relate


and say why

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHW5672VqL4 10/16
20/12/22, 21:41 (6493) Production Operator Job Interview Tips (former Nestlé Purina Recruiter) - YouTube

4:29 you're interested

4:30 because a lot of times


people want to

4:32 hire people that are


the most

4:33 motivated and that can


set you apart

4:36 from the hundreds of


other people that

4:37 apply for that role

4:39 and now the last thing


that i recommend

4:41 that you do

4:43 as you are preparing


for your interview

4:46 for a production


operator job

4:50 is to make sure you


come ready with

4:52 questions

4:53 this is something that


stands out to the

4:55 interviewer but it also


helps

20/12/22, 21:41 (6493) Production Operator Job Interview Tips (former Nestlé Purina Recruiter) - YouTube

4:57 you you should be


asking and

4:58 understanding what it's


like

5:00 in the warehouse or


factory you know is

5:02 it is it really hot there in


the summer

5:05 is it really cold do they


happen to have

5:06 ac like

5:08 what is the


environment gonna
look like

5:10 for you and then also


ask questions

5:12 about the interview


process

5:14 the recruiter should


share that with you

5:16 but i will be honest not


every recruiter

5:18 shares it maybe there


wasn't enough time

5:20 to you know get into


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHW5672VqL4 12/16
20/12/22, 21:41 (6493) Production Operator Job Interview Tips (former Nestlé Purina Recruiter) - YouTube
5:20 to you know get into
that

5:22 be sure to ask just so


that you can

5:24 understand what the


interview process

5:26 would look like and


then the other thing

5:29 is

5:29 if you're able to and


you have enough

5:31 time i would definitely


ask about

5:33 what type of


onboarding or training
is

5:35 available especially if if


this is going

5:37 to be your first time


working in

5:39 a factory or warehouse


type of

5:41 environment it'll be


good to just know

5:43 what type of training


they actually have

20/12/22, 21:41 y y (6493) Production Operator Job Interview Tips (former Nestlé Purina Recruiter) - YouTube

5:45 available

5:46 and just kidding one


other last tip

5:50 is to be ready to talk


about safety

5:53 now with large


companies uh there's
a

5:56 lot of protocols around


safety and just

5:58 making sure that

5:59 you know the workers


are safe everyone

6:01 in the factory or


warehouse is safe so

6:03 if you've been a part of


any safety

6:05 programs or

6:07 you know just basically


be ready to talk

6:09 about why safety is


important

6:12 who you see as you


know the person
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHW5672VqL4 14/16
20/12/22, 21:41 (6493) Production Operator Job Interview Tips (former Nestlé Purina Recruiter) - YouTube

6:15 that's responsible for


safety or persons

6:17 that are responsible for


safety and how

6:19 you've been able to


really push for

6:21 safe environments


especially again if

6:23 you've had warehouse


or

6:25 factory experience be


able to talk about

6:28 how you have been


able to keep your

6:31 workspace safe in your


past experience

6:34 so anyway

6:35 really quick video just


wanted to

6:37 highlight some of


those things hope it

6:38 is helpful

6:39 and if you are
