During my first year of work at a local clothing factory I mis-fed the embroidery pattern in a machine for a batch of 50 items. I found out after the first came out and immediately reset the pattern but by the time the command was finally cancelled, five more had come out. I was very disappointed in myself. Ever since then I have made it a habit to do one test sample before feeding large amounts in the machine.

Three adjectives describing me would be: persistent, responsible and adaptable.

Very little to none. I can check fluids and add as needed, grease the various joints, and change teeth on buckets.

Safety must to be put in the forefront of everything we do. It must be demonstrated throughtout the organization. We must all be informed of safety standards and policies and must have the tools available to implement those standards.

I almost willing to work for you, for a long time so that I can have more achievements and to get on next level of employment.

I believe that the work that machine operators perform prior to a shift holds the most importance. This is because there are a lot of pre checks that we have to perform to make sure that machines will run optimally. And it is at this time that most of the troubleshooting takes place so that deadlines can be met and there are no delays.

My name was nominated for transfer in backstitch machine section as supervisor in absence of the section in-charge. Since I had never supervised a team of machine operators and wasn’t very good in backstitch operation either, I resisted the responsibility as much as I could. I was afraid I’ll fail badly at supervision. Despite my reluctance I was assigned the duty and once I got hold of it, I performed it commendably for a period of one month. I learnt that accepting more responsibility and daring to explore unperfected horizons, staring in the face of one’s fears is the key to professional growth. I now stand ready to accept any professional responsibility when it comes my way.

A company that is financially stable as well as loyal to their employees.

It depends on the situation really, but yes, I do pay attention to detail in most cases.

Extremely important, because if you can't understand each other, a dangerous situation can occur. I always make sure a "Stop" command that everyone understands is established. And I mean everyone.

This is one of those deals where they have to convince you they know a topic cold, at least if you need them to know it. Don’t be afraid to grab a piece of bar stock and a micrometer and head out to the shop to have the applicant turn the stock to a particular OD on the lathe. You’ll learn a lot watching how quickly they get it done and seeing how they go about it.

Working on a steep slope is one. Another is working near live traffic. Yet another is working in confined spaces, where there is risk for damage to property.

Controlling operations of equipment or systems, Watching gauges, dials, or other indicators to make sure a machine is working properly, Monitoring/Assessing performance of yourself, other individuals, or organizations to make improvements or take corrective action, Managing one's own time and the time of others, Giving full attention to what other people are saying, taking time to understand the points being made, asking questions as appropriate, and not interrupting at inappropriate times.

I believe one needs to be really impressed by how machines work to be able to enjoy each day at work. To succeed as a machine operator, skills in forklift and pallet jack operations, inventory management and preventive maintenance of machinery are mandatory.

Even if they don’t make fixtures, they still need to understand and use them.

Physical agility is imperative in this work as one needs physical strength and stamina to operate machinery and power tools. Since heavy equipment workers have to perform strenuous work most of the time, being physically agile helps tremendously.

Everyone has their own ideas on this one (what, everyone doesn’t use G-Wizard Calculator?), so your goal is to see how compatible the applicant’s approach is with what your shop needs. Don’t be afraid to drill down and ask about subjects like High Speed Machining or Chip Thinning if it looks like a productivity way to explore your applicant’s deeper skills set.

Yes. I worked with a friend that was having a rough time, and I was teaching him to operate our yard truck. We went to dump a load of material and the truck started running strange. I took over and told him to shut down the truck, then instructed him on what we should do. We settled our differences and worked together to inspect the truck for damage while we waited for the mechanic.
