Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work for Tesla? Why the position you chose? Talk more about your experience and how it relates to the position.
Got an email couple days after i applied. Asking to set up a date for an phone interview. During the phone interview general questions where asked about how should an associate behave at work. Passed the phone interview and was asked to Schedule a face to face interview. Two days later went for my face to face remember STUDY about tesla and the CEO. They will not ask you what's tesla dream just tell them. After the face to face was asked to perform a drug test and background. Got an email I passed and can move forward to setup a phsyical. Went to the phsyical they tested pretty much if your body can withstand the job your applying for. After the physical i was asked to do one more face to face interview with an supivoser now this is the person you need to impress be your self and knock it out the park and you are guaranteed to be hired. Remember tesla needs a lot of employees to reach there production goal so they need you. The hole process was about 2 months.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Jun 2017
Interview
Must first take and pass the personality assessment test, immediately after if you pass than you're selected to do an interview. They ask the normal basic questions. "Name a time when" the killer question is "what do you know about Tesla" DO YOUR HOMEWORK. "Do you know about our CEO" DO YOUR HOMEWORK. If you pass that you go straight to background information to submit a background check. I heard from them 3 days later to set up a drug screening test, STUDY FOR IT (kidding) 2 weeks later I found out that I passed both the background and drug test, you then have a physical exam. Pretty much normal exercise to make sure you can actually do the job. 2 weeks later I was told I had passed and would be contacted. My first interview was June 2nd, my first day will be here on July 10th. Don't wait on it, have another gig
