If they ask you two forms of marking out for a cone, they are referring to the answers of triangulation and parallel lines but they may not ask, most other questions are so simple, safety boots, gloves, basic ppe, oxyacetylene, how you light a torch, pressures for gas, name some mig wire sizes, 0.6   0.8   1.0 etc, name two types of tungsten for tig, things like that

good luck today, again let me know how you go please

Also im in oz in november and will be looking for work if you have any contacts

Thanks

I maybe too late in replying to you, don't stress or worry about the interview, basically if you have been doing that trade for the length of time you have you will be fine, most of what i was asked was very basic health and safety, what ppe would you wear if, and that was for most of the power point slides, i was asked how to set up a mig out of the box, parallel lines and triangulation, gas pressures, name some basic tools you use every day, i was so worried about it, i stayed overnight the night before just outside london as my interview was at 9.30 am, i was sat in front of a computer screen and web cam, given a landline phone to speak to the guy in Australia who was asking the questions, i know i got a couple of answers slightly wrong, more nervous than anything as it means so much to pass and gain the 10 points, but rest assured, if metal work is you field you will be ok, i did try to swat up on some areas, things you don't always do everyday, but i didn't really need to, they know what to ask and know straight away if your genuine about it, some people do try it on as i was told and they know time served metal workers or not, i asked the guy at the interview in london, after it was complete if i did ok, he said go home and chill out, i don't think you have anything to worry about, he was right, within 10 days i had my certificate !!

Good luck with it and let me know how you go please

Hi all,

has anybody completed the metal fabricator technical interview, I've been told today from my agent that I will be doing this and it lasts around 2hrs, just want to know what I will be asked, I've been in the trade for over 20 years but nervous about it all really, don't want to get it wrong. It supposed to be chilled out and just chatting?? Would like to be prepared for it.

many thanks in advance.
