I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Honeywell (Phoenix, AZ)
Interview
Having interviewed prospective employees for other companies this interview could be rated in the lower tier scale of 3 out of 10 from personal experience.
I directly asked the manager if it was required that I had to supply my own tools. He replied no we take care of that.
The disappointment came 2 weeks after the interview when I followed up with the Honeywell recruiter and was informed that a current employee had been hired because they knew the facility and could hit the ground running for this shop. I was wondering if there was an internal candidate why waste an outside candidate’s time if you’re though process is transfer an internal experienced technician into that slot. A month later I received an email asking if I was still interested in working for Honeywell. I was looking for career advancement so I accept the offer.
My first day at work I found out I had to supply my own tools, at a cost of over $4000.00. My manager said hey Honeywell is always laying people off or they are leaving (which is very true) so go to a pawn shop and purchase some tools. There is not a pawn shop anyplace close to that campus, another flat out lie from this manager.
Then I found out from my coworkers that I was the only candidate for the position, there was no other person. I had this gut feeling I made a mistake,

Question 1
The interview lasted 40 minutes with routine questions. How do you handle conflicts, how do you handle a coworker who you think are using drugs or drinks on the job, explain a projects you have done and how this was handled from cradle to grave, how have you saved a company money, what can you do for Honeywell.
It was a smooth easy interview. Interviewers were comfortabke and easy to talk too. Also, interviewers asked the right questions related to the job and questions were easy to anwser.
