Interview Questions

Loon4ever
Hey all!
So as one of the two guys in my shop that knows PC-DMIS and have ran a CMM, not to mention the other guy has no interest in the CMM, our Forman has asked me to conduct the interview of a prospective CMM Programmer/Operator/Inspector. To give some back ground we are an Aero shop and the boss likes his LEAN manufacturing. So of course there's never enough time, or enough people so you're always getting asked to check a part while you're barley half way through the one you're already working on.
My question to you guys is, if you were hiring a CMM Programmer who is expected to also operate the CMM and preform Non CMM Inspections what would you go about asking them? What skills do you find to be the most valuable for a CMM Programmer/Operator to have? Anything I should look for as a red flag? Also any advice of things to look for or for conducting the interview would be greatly appreciated. I will not be alone with the prospective employee since this will be my first interview but I'll be the only one there with CMM experience.
Thanks in advance for any tips or tricks you guys can shoot my way!

  • We have a short 5-10 question quiz that I give to applicants. It basically just has basic gd&t questions tied to how you would evaluate it in pc dmis. So far it has been 100% effective at weeding out the bs'ers that think they deserve 30+ an hour. I tend to keep the interviews very informal to try and feel a person out. Usually we will give then something simple to do a manual alignment on, then dcc, then measure something relative to that, without cad. Its absolutely baffling how many people claim to be senior level programmers and cant accomplish this. We usually end up choosing the person who comes in for the interview and is honest about what they do and do not know but seem to have the right attitude. We corrupt them from there..
