So I'm going in tomorrow for "employment testing" in QA...

[electricJ]

I'm going in tomorrow afternoon to take an "employment test" for a Quality Assurance Lab Technician position. My question is, what can I be expected to know for this? The job posting said that it prefers a BS degree, but also offers on the job training. I'm a EE grad from this year and applied for this position as it offers me 2nd shifts which would leave me free to do my main job search in the morning/early afternoon hours. Plus, it'll offer me medical/dental insurance, which I do not currently have as I can't afford it.

Any input as to what I should know for this? With a degree in EE, would I even be suited for this? (this will only be temp until I find an engineering position)

Sorry, the company produces sealants, adhesives, and epoxies for industrial/automotive use. According to the job posting, the position involves testing raw materials, in-process materials, and finished products.

They'll probably test if you can deal with working with metric measurements, do conversions between metric and US Standard, test if you understand how to operate/use various measuring devices, see if you can comprehend and understand instructions when given and follow them to complete a task (a set of instructions are given and when used, you are able to "do a job" that's "assigned" to you), that sort of stuff.

Yeah, I realize that, but it seems to be the best option I can find while I continue my current job search for an EE job. Since I really need to work 2nds right now, its a job like that, or work on a factory assembly line...
