What to expect from Lockheed Martin sheetmetal tech interview?

Question

I have an interview with Lockheed Martin next week. The position is for a sheetmetal technician. I am currently an Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic. I do have about six months of sheetmetal experience but it has been a long time. I have also been told that there will be a performance test followed by the interview. Has anyone been through this before? Any Info? Thanks

Answer 1

First of all A and P's are technicians not mechanics. Manufacturing aircraft workers are mechanics and are expendable re-rate your self buddy.

Everything your doing now should cover all the questions they would normally ask about sheet metal like " Tell me the difference between a rivet and a fastener?" or " Describe to me your regular work day step by step from clocking in to clocking out?".

They are just trying to weed out the idiots that lie on their resumes about the exp or education they say that they have. I've seen alot in aviation mfg plant that gets fired within there probationary period.

I don't know how Lockheed does there test but i know at Boeing you have to do the sheet metal plate test. Which consist of - drilling holes for rivets, close tolerance hole for fasteners, ream holes for ground stud, shave rivets, buck countersunk/raised/button style rivets, drill/remove rivets and fasteners with out scratching the plate. At all absolutely none within a certain time.

But to make my answer short if you have an A and P i don't see why its hard for you to get a technician job anywhere in the world. Well anyways i sure wish you the best and good luck on your interview...
