The last time i had the hearing test was like 10 years ago, sound proof room, headphones and tell them what side you hear a tone... general test of eye sight, which included a test for colour blindness
i figure it will be much of the same, but will let you know what all is involved
And from what the guy i spoke to on the phone said the physical test had to do with push/pull test.

And they will bend you over to see if you can "take it like a man" That's the push pull part.
Welcome to trim. :lol:

And as of July, I no longer will be painting. Much easier job putting tape on the roof for the two tone Flex.

Most of the new hire jobs will involve climbing in and out of vehicles to install wiring looms and run down bolts and put in clips, etc. The carpal-tunnel jobs. One job I had when I worked on the line in the truck plant involved climbing in the cab, installing 2 visor clips (2 screws), the trim over the windshield (3 screws), a spacer on the cowl lip for the windshield. Then I would turn around, install the dome light (3 different screws), install the trim over the back window (3 more different screws plus the visor clip. Then climb out. Total time: 1 minute 20 seconds. All the while dragging a pneumatic screwgun.

26 new students came in yesterday, one was late and told to go home. Another decided he wasn't cut out for line work after a brief orientation class, and left (I'm thinking his mummy or daddy has deep pockets).
Trim ain't so bad right now. That's where most of the cute girl students are for the summer.

Well i had both tests today, they are all pretty easy
Just relax, first thing they do before the physical tests is take your blood pressure
Good luck everyone!

And I'm being sarcastic about the better, more fun part.
And I can't look at the students anymore, the last time I did that I married one, lol.
