Assessment skills testing leads to a interview ! Login/Join

I did my skills tests yesterday for a position at a good company, which makes landing gear and braking systems for aircraft. Two, timed tests, the first on patterns which I only completed 1/3 of in 20 minutes, the 2nd had all manner of questions on hydrolics, pneumatics, safety, machining, electronics and precision measuring. Givin 45 minutes, I completed in 30. Some of my answers were winging it but I bet were close. They are sent out for gradeing and it takes up to 48 hours for returns. One day later they are back and I got the interview Thursday morning. Pretty excited because I just aint a logistics worker and am surrounded by mega warehousing here. I saw some cut away models of the braking systems and they are complex but beautifully machined. I may well be machining rims for the 777 jet. Man I'm feeling good today. Wish me luck.

Maybe that was a trick question, they wanted to see if you are a gun guy! Big Grin

Congrats
That is awesome.
I have always been interested in that field but my brain just do not work that way.

I think I failed the test just reading your post.

Good Luck

Metric equivalent? 5.1cm. Or English/standard/whatever they call it equivalent? I’d have to do math, but 2.54cm = 25.4mm, which sounds a lot like half of 51mm. Smile
