Normal Minimum Requirements :

*PLEASE NOTE: To be considered for this position, a resume must be submitted, enumerating qualifications and skills.

Testing Requirements

There will be a two-part testing procedure required for this position. The first step is a written technical skills test followed by a behavioral based interview. A passing grade on the technical skills test is needed to progress to the interview portion of the recruitment process.

We are providing a study outline to prepare for both the written technical skills test and the behavioral based interview. The outline is designed to maximize test results by centralizing study time in the areas listed below:

Written Technical Skills Test

• Knowledge of general paint terms
• Knowledge of proper paint applications including use of airless sprayers
• Basic use of PPE
• Mathematical skills

Behavioral Based Interview

The interview is a behavioral-based interview. We believe past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior, and behavior that is more recent is a better predictor of future behavior than older behavior, and long-standing trends are better predictors of behavior than isolated incidents. We therefore have patterned the questions during the interview to solicit behavior patterns that indicate with higher predictability whether the candidate can perform the job as required. This type of interview is different from those you may have taken in the past.
