I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Atair Aerospace (Brooklyn, NY) in Sept 2011
Interview
Easy, laid back. A skill test including some knowledge, skills and abilities test with the machines that I would be using and possibly repairing. A walkthrough and introduction with all the employees minus the contractors. The current employees seemed cheerful enough, but not neccessarily welcome, possibly due to the companies current contract status or to the locale (NYC).
