go to see Welding Machine for interview questions?

Im making a interview question sheet. I have some basic knowledge questions and now im putting some journymen questions on there. Do you guys have any good ones that only a journeymen welder would know? Thanks guys!!
Reply:Since no one else has said anything, I will suggest asking them about welding settings."If you had a butt joint on 1/8 inch aluminum, what would the settings be for TIG welding.  For MIG welding?"You could hand them a small welded unit, maybe just tack welded together, and have them describe how they would weld it, what process they would select, wire or rod size, what settings they would use, any special procedures, and why.Hand them a drawing and ask similar questions.  If they can't read a drawing, don't hire them.I assume that you will actually have them do some welding at some point.I am sure that other people have better ideas, but maybe this will get you started.RichardSculptures in copper and other metalshttp://www.fergusonsculpture.comSyncrowave 200 Millermatic 211Readywelder spoolgunHypertherm 600 plasma cutterThermal Arc GMS300 Victor OA torchHomemade Blacksmith propane forge

Reply:Here's some good questions: "what's the thickest shielding metal" you've used for arc welding?"   Or, "do you prefer 220, 221 or whatever it takes?"[ame]www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX3kxAA2L4Q[/ame] "Hey I didn't come to look and learn, I came to turn and burn....

Replyossible the right candidate doesn't interview well or many people talk a great game but useless workers. Have them weld for you or have them prep and weld some test coupons.  Still a crap shoot
