Don’t fall into the trap of specifying job titles. Stick to natural progression. If you don’t seem too interested in what lies beyond this job, the interviewer will fear that you wont stick around for long.

A sample answer could be that you are aware that there are several skills required for the job that you need to develop on, but you believe that your own motivation for self improvements, will be developed by the time an opportunity arises. That is why you are determined to learn.

This question allows you to brag on yourself, but keep in mind that the interviewer wants strengths relative to the position. For example, being a problem solver, a motivator, and being able to perform under pressure, positive attitude and loyal. You will also need examples that back your answers up for illustration of the skill.

A typical interview question to determine what you are looking for in your next job, would be to ask what challenges you are looking for.

The best way to answer questions about the challenges you are seeking is to discuss how you would like to effectively utilise your skills and experience if you were hired for the position. You can also mention that you are motivated by challenges and have the ability to effectively meet deadlines to handle a challenging job.

Explained properly.

Although this would seem like a simple question, it can easily become tricky. You shouldn’t mention salary being a factor at this point. If you’re currently employed, your response can focus on developing and expanding your career and even yourself. If you’re current employer is downsizing, remain positive and brief. If your employer fired you, prepare a solid reason. Under no circumstance should you discuss any drama or negativity, always remain positive.

Kanban is scheduling system which advises manufacturers about how much to produce, what to produce and when to produce. In this system, inventory is re-filled only when visual cues like an empty bin or cart is seen.

Honestly if you are applying for this position because you have loads of experience, then mention it all.

But if you are switching careers or trying something a little different, then your experience may not look like its matching up. People skills are people skills, and in this type of job then you will be working as part of a team.

This question is like a loaded gun, tricky and dangerous if you’re not sure what you are doing. It’s not uncommon for people to end up talking salary before really selling their skills, but knowledge is power as this is a negotiation after all. Again, this is an area where doing your research will be helpful as you will have an understanding of average salary.

One approach is asking the interviewer about the salary range, but to avoid the question entirely, you can respond that money isn’t a key factor and you’re goal is to advance in your career. However, if you have a minimum figure in mind and you believe you’re able to get it, you may find it worth trying.

This is the part where you link your skills, experience, education and your personality to the job itself. This is why you need to be familiar with the kob description as well as the company you will be working for.

It is possible that you may not have as much skills, experience and qualifications as the other candidates.

So what will set you apart from the other candidates? Energy and passion will.

Main challenge in manufacturing is to develop better production processes, ensure the right material and component supplies at the least cost, decrease production time, eliminate wastage and maintain quality in the final product.

Explained it. (never forget to give the directional arrow sign for any mechanical cycle. mind it. That is a test too)

Interviewers like to understand if the candidate applying for the job fully knows what the job will include. The more you connect your previous job with the job you have applied for, then the more successful you will be. Keep your answers focused and detail as much as you can about the job.

So for a production operator, you might say something like:
Production operators set up and adjust machines, and monitor them for unusual noises or movements. They may load supplies into machines either by hand or using hoists, replace molds and cutting surfaces, and act as a link in a chain that involves several manufacturing processes and other operators. They test and measure finished products, and record their activities and manufacturing levels. They may meet with co-workers, supervisors, engineers and managers to ensure that the results of their activities meet corporate standards and the expectations of consumers.

DCR stands for Document Change Request, a change request which addresses about a problem with a document, SOP (standard operating procedure) or specification and propose a change to fix it.

This question needs to be carefully answered as it is your opportunity to stick out from the rest of the applicants. You should focus on skills that you have, including those not yet mentioned. Simply responding “because I’m really good” or “I really need a job” isn’t going to work. You shouldn’t assume the skills of other applicants or their strengths, focus on yourself. Tell the interviewer why you are a good fit for the position, what makes you a good employee, and what you can provide the company. Keep it brief while highlighting achievements.
