I did aptitude same week and have been called for interview next week so maybe they are waiting for numbers I know they took on 30 plus yesterday what did they ask in the interview , how long did it take

Interview is formal, but relaxed, but that could just have been down to who I was interviewed by as she was a very nice friendly lady.
Know a bit about the company, and what they do, recent expansions, and have an answer prepared for the usual questions "why do you want to work for Medtronic?" "What can you contribute as an employee?" Etc.
They will then ask you to give details of times you worked as part of a team, give examples of how you have had to pay close attention to detail, just try and use any good examples, even if they aren't exactly in the same line of work, (I referred to previous work experience although it was in retail, and projects and assignments for university.)
Learn a little about "lean production / lean manufacturing" as they will ask you do you know what this is.
They asked me had I experience in labs, clean rooms and microscope work but having that experience does not seem to be the inference between being hired or not.
All in all I think I was in there about 15 minutes.

The medical takes a similar amount of time and you do this out in Medtronic. They go through your full medical history with you, and then check your: height, weight, sight, hearing, blood pressure, lung function, and they take urine and blood samples to test for drugs in your system.

I hope this helps!

Thank you great help.

Has anyone heard from cregg recently about operator jobs ..I did the assement the 23 July ..then I did the interview the following week followed by medical .. I rang them recently regarding the medical and they said that I passed and that they are waiting on contracts from Medtronic .does that mean that I got the job??? And has anyone been contacted by cregg regarding a start date.thanks

Hey, I did the assessment the same date as you, and interview and medical shortly afterwards. Still haven't heard anything, it's quite frustrating really. I phoned Cregg last Friday and they said the same thing, that I had passed everything and that they would be in contact to arrange starting once Medtronic tell them that they need staff. They seem to be hiring continuously but I don't know how many could be waiting to start before us.

Hi all, i am just wondering what is the general wage of a operator for medtronic starting out.
thanks

Im on the same boat but its a good sign if no one got a call back yet. We just got to wait so I suppose. Ty

It's really frustrating that they said it was immediate start and it's clearly isn't

I was talking to a girl in Creggs office and she told me they have a warm pool of people I .e. Those who pass interview medical and ref checks. Apparently it only after that are you considered for a job and if so it's when Medtronic look for people they call people from their warm pool. My cousin didn't even pass the interview stage so it's not automatic you have a job

I haven't heard anything. Ya its been a long wait when you dont know whats going on
