Application
I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Georgia Power (Auburn, AL) in Oct 2015
Interview
Standard personality questions in order to get to know you. They want to gage your interest in the company and make sure you will be a good member to the team. They are very big on safety, so if you were to mention that in your interview, it would definitely help you stand out.
Meet at Georgia Power at the career fair. I waited in line and then spoke to a representative who passed me through to another person who scheduled me for an interview the next day. The next day, there was an on campus interview. Not too many technical questions were asked, just personality and problem solving situations. Finally there was a phone interview to narrow down which position I would fill best.
