I passed all of the above many weeks ago and still haven't got the go ahead.

I just did the assessment recently,im just wondering how long did it take from the assessment to the interview process and the medical?

cheers for the help

Hi all, with medtronic do you just drop in your own CV or is there an application form that you have to fill in?

For an operator position that is. And what's the duration of contracts like?

I recently did the assessment, interview and medical with Medtronic and still didn't get the job. Can't understand how or why.

But you can wear casual clothes for the assessment, but wear a suit for interview.

Hi Sofa-king, I was wondering if you have heard anything yet about the job in Medtronic? I recently completed the assessment, interview and medical and was under the assumption that I would have heard something at this stage and still two weeks later I haven't heard anything. It's incredibly frustrating as I believed that they were seeking to employ people as soon as possible.

Hi tintin14 was just wondering have you heard back from medtronic or Cregg since you done your medical? I done my medical last week and still haven't heard anything I also taught they were looking to employ people asap

Hi Roversfc,
I haven't heard anything yet....I presume that they are just gonna wait until after race week to hire at this stage. It's a pretty frustrating set up. I know a few other people in a similar position with this stage of the process and that's giving me a bit of hope!! Good luck...if I hear anything I'll let you know

Thanks, there may still be hope so I actually rang Cregg a while ago to see if they could give me any information about it but they didn't say much just that they don't think they will be hiring anymore people until after race week, if I hear anything else il post here

Hi All


Roversfc I have a interview during the week with cregg. Any advise on the questions and what to expect?
In relation to the medical wats involved and is it strict ?

Hi, ya in the interview they ask ya what you know about the company and about what they do so do a bit of research on them, they ask you do you know what lean production is so just learn that off, other questions are like explain a time where you had to pay close attention to detail and that it's pretty straight forward you will be in and out in 10 mins, the medical then is grand they just take blood and urine samples, check your blood pressure, give you an eye and ear test, I think once you got passed the assessment you more than likely will get the job as long as ya pass the medical

Hi im still waiting for results of the aptitude test from july 25.got an email saying they wouldnt have the results till the second week in sept.did anyone else get the email.

Hi I got an interwiew for medronic just want to know what kind of questions they ask and how long will it take thank you

Hi @tintin, @Roversfc I completed the interview and medical two weeks ago yesterday. I can't seem to contact them and I am getting worried and wondering should I be moving on to look for something else.

Do you think that once the medical is passed (hopefully) that I will get the job at some stage?

Thanks!!

I'm in the exact same situation, had the assessment Wednesday July 23rd, interview Tuesday August 12th, and medical the following day, and I haven't heard a word since, unsure as to what to take from that, should I assume I have not got the job and start looking elsewhere, or are they waiting to have enough new recruits to train a group together?

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
