Interviewing with multiplant companies

(1/2) > >>

ChiefRocscooter:
Since I am just now starting to look for interviews I was wondering what the approach of multiple site companies is?  If you interview at one site do they pass on your info to the others, or is the whole process run by one big HR dept.  I know the web site seem to be one big hopper that spits out canidates to the plants but how does the interivew process work when a company needs people at differentr sites.  For example I know Dominion recently listed for operaors and both Surry and North Anna.  Would and applicant be interviewed for both jobs at one place or would a trip to each plant be required (I am of course assuming both jobs were applied for).  I guess I am wondering how much the individual plant figures into the process.

Thanks

In my experience, the POSS test taken once was then always accepted companywide, but it was not always the same for the interview. With Exelon, an interview at one plant led to an offer from another (which I never visited, only phone). With Entergy, I put in for postings at separate plants and had to interview at both. I would suspect that it's typically more the latter.

If there are seperate listings there will be seperate interviews.
If you bid two different jobs at the same plant there will be seperate interviews.

I was talking to a couple of friends this month about competing plants in the same utility during interviews. Some plants want to know if you are interviewing with another at the same utility, and what your preference is. Walk on eggshells, because you won't get a job when the location is not your first choice (but they often know the interviewers at the other plant!)

If you bid 2 jobs at the same plant at the same time, you will defininitely be pinned down to a first choice. It is too expensive to train someone to have to worry about them laterally transferring as soon as they can...

ChiefRocscooter:
Eggshells it is!! Likely I will not have to worry about it as I think my only targeting plants I want to be at (well at this point) will pay off in the long run.  Thanks to the info and advice I have gotten (much of it from here!!) I am well ahead of the getting out curve! (I hope).
Now for question along same line as start of thread.
How is this industry when you have an offer from one plant/company at making counter offers.  Say got offer from Company Spacely at plant Glowing, if I told Company Cogswell would they be more inclined to offer (assuming I had already interviewed) at plant Flux?
Along same line what about between two sites same company? (I am guessing the answer on this one will be a no poaching type of thing but I what to seek comfirmation on it anyways)

Thanks,
Rob
