About a month ago Boeing sent me an email requesting me to fill out there online employment application in order to continue further. What does this mean exactly. This has happened two times now since December. I have applied for and an under consideration for some assembly positions here in Everett. Can anyone tell me what this means.

It means they like your resume, and it is the next step to an interview. It does not guarantee an interview however, but it is the next step towards one. Definately a good sign!

Wow that is the craziest thing. The day after I posted this question, I got my email invitation for my first interview. It is on the 25th, and is for an assembly position. I have 5 years of experience being a diesel mechanic so I hope that they hire me.

Ya you shoul be fine by then.... I will see you there! I won't know you... But that's OK lol...
Is it in Seattle?

Like I said, I have one on the 25th in Seattle also one tomorrow in Everett... I should get 'points' for just showing up! It's gonna be a nightmare tomorrow. Either way it will either still be frozen, or it will be a sloppy mess... NOT looking forward to it.... I have been scheduled for this one since January 6....

Damn snow!

Ya... We will!

You should know (maybe you already know) the questions are in STAR format. Situation/task-action-result. No technical questions, all behavioral.

Yeah, I knew that I still need to research that a bit. Do you know if the interviews are groups or individual?

It can be intimidating.. Been there done that.
They just emailed me, and now I only have one interview. I'm kinda bummed... I was invited to two. The one for tomorrow was rescheduled on the same day that I had another one, and I told them so there would not be a time conflict. So they canceled one.... The better paying one of course. :-/

Oh, yeah... I'm sure they are... Just think: there are like 80,000 folks there...
Every little assembly has a sub assembly... and many in between. It's all broken down into little baby steps/work cells... Plus, there are many different configurations. 747, 767, 777, 777 --> just Everett...

Well I am just really nervous cause I really need this bad. I have a great resume I just hope I don't goof up the interview. This will be such a blessing for me and my family. I really want this. Not just cause I need a job but because I want to spend the rest of my career with Boeing.

I'm looking to get into Boeing as well! I'm an engineer with 7 years of exp...how did you get in?

HRD, it's been said many times in this forum.
It starts with a resume. Specifically, you must use key words that are in the job reqs. The resumes are put through software that only sorts them by key words/phrases.

Also, it is a very LONG process. Keep applying.

Hey, thanks!
How'd it go, for you?
I feel OK about mine, but it's hard to tell...
The managers were somewhat laid back, but still very structured.
I couldn't read them as well as I hoped.
Were you in Seattle? Or Everett today?
I was in Seattle, and I have another one in Everett next week....

I was in Seattle. How did you enjoy finding a parking space? My interview went spectacular. My big worry now is how in depth the backround check is for the entry level position. I think I got some dates messed up on my application.

I lucked out with parking... Traffic was another story. I gave myself plenty of time. I was not late.... I was early, but damn traffic was jammed!

I hope you get on! Fingers crossed! I am hoping for the position I have not interviewed for yet. This one was good practice.

The cool thing is that I did not find out until my interviewers told me that I was being interviewed for two positions at the same time. Double the chances baby. Next week is going to be a good week for us.

I have not received a reply.However, I noticed that the jobs that I interviewed for say " no longer under consideration". So, I guess I do not exactly need a reply as I can pretty much read between the lines. Its okay I will not let it stop me. I just hope that getting turned down once doesnt mean I have no more chances cause I refuse to give up.

You should DEFINATELY keep trying! If that's what you want...
Shiz... I just looked at mine too... One of the ones I interviewed for got bumped off, but one other one is still there.

It's kinda disappointing.
