QUESTION 26 OF 28

At times, the machines on the line have to be shut down for repairs or maintenance. Tell me about some things you might do during down times.

Every manufacturing plant has contingencies for downtime, as machines are being maintained. The interviewer is wanting to know that you will look for ways to occupy the time rather than just stand around soaking up the clock. Reassure the hiring manager, that you will spend the downtime being a productive member of the team.

"I would attempt to assist team members who might need it, or use the time to clean and sweep up my area more than usual. I would make myself available to my supervisor to see if there was anything he or she needed me to do. I want to stay as active as I can and help the team out as much as possible."
