I was given an exam and asked a few questions. I had to return to talk to a supervisor whom told me I shouldn't finish engineering school and that I would make more money machining.

Short one interview then hired, pay was pretty much set with first meeting, so be ready to negotiate at first interview. Pay range for machinist is $16 to $24 hourly. If you have Mazak or Mori Seki machine experience make sure to bring it up. Also Motors runs a staggering array of parts so talk about your thread type knowledge and different family of parts you've run.
