J'ai passé un entretien chez Cintas (Aliso Viejo, CA) en août 2017
Entretien
The interview process with Cintas is just beginning but my first impressions of the company are very impressive. Two days ago I found the Service Manager position on a Veteran job site. I searched for an HR representative on LinkedIn in the local area and within 10 hours we were connected. The HR rep looked at my LinkedIn profile and told me that I would be a perfect fit for the job. I applied for the job and sent my contact with the information.
The next day we communicated by the middle of that same day I had a telephone screening with a different HR representative. Two hours later I was scheduled for a face-to-face interview at the company site. I was told that I will face 3 more interviews after my initial meeting.
The HR representatives have been fantastic for the initial stages of my quest for employment at Cintas. What has impressed me is the speed in which I have been schedule for an interview. But the key is to be proactive and get a contact in the HR department.
I will provide more inputs as the process continues
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
I received six questions all based on management and challenges that I have faced in my past job. Be ready to answer what you have been doing professionally for the past five years. Also I was asked about my customer service experience. What I consider to be a challenge in customer service and what my weaknesses are in a customer service setting. I was also asked what made me pick Cintas as a company to search employment. Another question was what I will bring to the company if hired.
I will be very honest. I was not prepared for those questions for an initial phone screening. I was ready for just explaining information from my resume. But I must have done well enough to get a face-to-face interview. I recommend that if you are notified that someone will contact you from HR to be ready for interview type questions and insure you know about the company. Review the company's Annual Report from their website.

Still in the process-
step 1: recruiter pre-screen call
step 2: General Manager in person
next step- may take several weeks but if move forward will have zoom with regional and then VP. If a turn down is not received then you are still being considered for the role. For me, step 1+2 happened within 5 days. TBD if I move to 2-3

I interviewed with the senior recruiter and the interview asked general management questions. Since I found out about the role through LinkedIn, the recruiter explained more about the role and responsibilities, training provided, and specifics about the actual region the role would be in.

Three step process with a field ride. Recruiter was first, pretty standard. Second was field ride and final with the general manger. Pretty straight forward process, took about 2 weeks.
