My interview.... are u a team player? Hell yea! whats your greatest weakness? Working with others 😝

An instructor in college said the same about interviewing. I've done it as much as I can, and now my resume stays updated and I'm unusually comfortable in interviews. My response to the "How do you work in teams?" question has always been "Depends on the team"... just being honest lol

Great advise got a interview tomorrow. First time I saw this and you mention 1 interview every two months made me seek out jobs. Worst thing that can happen is they say no.

I’m also an industrial maintenance technician in the Kansas City area. Still newer, only 3 years as a tech under my belt. Love this content, man. Thank you!

Easiest questions to weed someone out are :
1)if you have a 3 phase motor and its backwards what can you do to make it run properly
2) do you have your own tools
3) do you have a car
4) what does a fuse do
5) if a coil normally has 100 ohms but is now reading 50ohms what likely happened
6) ask them there process of elimination to fix anything
7) ask them mechanical questions such as gear ⚙️ one earlier
8) ask them a question that puts them in a tough spot and see their professionalism such as, would you be willing to share your tools with our employees, do you think you could work sundays, just to see how they respond to bullshit

Working in a machine shop is very hydraulic heavy. Hydraulic questions include determining force on a cylinder, different valve centers, being able to explain different pumps, compensator circuits and being able to read schematics fluently. In Ohio I have found there are less people skilled in hydraulics than other areas in the industrial maintenance field.

Thank you for your help and these informations. I got asked those questions multiple times and i can confirm you know what youre talking about.

I used this material in combination with another video and received an offer way over asking. I’m a tech who’s been in the industry for 10 years, but I’m terrible at interviewing because I’m extremely shy.

I just started my new career as a maintenance mechanic in the food manufacturing company, I am wondering when is it the best time update my resume even though I am on the 90 day probation period to review on my performance?

[thebackwoodsmechanic]

A lot of the companies I make repairs for is what I consider industrial machine maintenance but here in my area, it rural and theres no specialist for the machines for hundred of miles. These companies don't invest in their people unfortunately. Good advice for people

What type of trade school are out there to get the most experience? I’m looking into A&P program but A&P doesn’t teach PLC.

[thegreatgreen]

Great Video. Speaking of books, what would be the best electrical related books for people who are just starting out in the industry?

[hidros]

Thanks a ton for this video 💪

What’s the best way to make the transition from a commercial electrician to industrial maintenance, is there any courses or certs that I can obtain to help, thanks

[Dcthetruth]

I want to Advance Higher to this type of Maintenance. Ive peen a Maintenance Technician for Apartments, Facilities and Hospital as a Maintenance Mechanic. I always see industrial Maintenance pay alot more so I'm now interested in qualifications to get into Industrial Maintenance.

[Petesworkshop]

I took osha 30 class, class was free but job wouldn't pay, cost me a weeks pay to get that cert.

I don't think I'm a "good leader." I just carry out the maintenance supervisor's/ engineer's intent by equally distributing my crews workload based on their skill level strengths and weaknesses. If folks think I'm a good or bad leader, that on them.
