Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give me an example how you followed a safety protocol in your previous employment and what action did you take?
Pretty straight forward. They ask if you have ever worked outdoors or around heavy equipment. They have you read back a script to see if you speak clearly and if they can understand what you’re saying. It’s a 2 part interview as well
