There was one brief phone interview followed by a more in-depth Zoom interview. Neither of the interviews felt like it was too much, pretty basic questions. The interviewers were nice, understanding that I didn't have much work experience or interview experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Altec Industries (Mount Airy, NC) in Mar 2026
Interview
Received an email asking about my interview availability within a week of applying for the position. Two people interviewed me, both of them were respectful, chill, and overall very nice to me, especially considering I was very nervous and it was my first real interview. They asked me about my previous work experience (I have only had two jobs), and they asked about common challenges I faced in those roles, what my typical day looks like for them, and the general work for them. They asked about a couple specifics off my resume, and asked about which department I'd be comfortable in. I even made a small joke about a number I used on my resume that was slightly inflated, but they laughed with me about it and it was nice that they weren't taking it TOO too seriously. Still a very professional space and process but it was definitely more chill and welcoming than I was expecting.
