A recruiter contacted me via email & asked if I would be interested in applying for a maintenance technician position at Tesla's new Gigafactory in Reno, NV. I said I would, and then had a phone interview with her. That interview went great, and she asked me to provide references, an updated resume, an example of a time I had to troubleshoot something, and a short paragraph about why I wanted to work for Tesla. I sent her those things, and then had a phone interview with the on-site recruiting manager at Tesla. This interview didn't go as well, the on-site recruiting manager seemed really uninterested in everything I was saying and the interview only lasted 10 minutes. I followed up with the first person I interviewed with and she told me their focus had shifted and that I was no longer being considered for the position. I assume this was just a nice way of saying they didn't think I had enough industrial maintenance experience (I am pretty young) yet. I would imagine that if you have more than 3 or 4 years of industrial maintenance experience you would have no problem getting this job because they're hiring from the ground up.
