I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Sep 2015
Interview
Apply through staffing company. Get a call to interview a few week later. There are a lot of people went to the interview also. First, they test your skill on using tool like screwdriver, bolts and nut. Just make sure you know how to convert centimeter to millimeter.
Next, you will wait to get interview by one of their hiring staff. You don't need to worry about technical question or anything. They just ask simple behavior question like why Tesla? Strong and weakness? Basically show you are committed to work there. IMPORTANT: they do NOT care much about you and your resume, if you get hired, they will assign you to whatever slot they needed.
The interview Process was not all that difficult. It was pretty straightforward and easy. My interview was over the phone since it was barely post COVID. It wasn't as nerve wrecking as it would have been if it were in person
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA)
Interview
Applied though website, Emailed with availability for phone interview. Phone call went well. Emailed again for onsite interview. Interviewed with production manager. Interview was short yet to the point. Emailed to set up drug screen and physical. Once both of those were submitted I was given instructions on when and where to report for training and day 1 of work.
Was a Phone interview followed by in person interview. Straight forward questions with straight to the point conversations. In person was a little more intense but nothing too difficult over all.
