I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LyondellBasell (Clinton, IA) in May 2017
Interview
Several step process. Received an email to contact a hiring group to attend pre-employment testing, a basic mechanical aptitude test and then a character assessment with questions about stealing and drug use. After a week I received a call for an in person interview. Basic STAR based interview, have you ever type questions regarding safety and personal accomplishments, this was conducted with a panel of five people. Not a difficult interview but disappointing the interviewers were 25 minutes late and the whole process felt like a cattle call.
