.
my guess is they have people who are not machinist doing the hiring and have no ideal how to ask say 20 questions to find out what a person knows about CNC machining.
.
Job I have now, the supervisor doing the hiring had me talk to the lead CNC machinist and show me the machine I would be using. One question the lead CNC machinist asked is he said they machine mill 1018 steel at 600 sfpm and asked what I usually milled at. I said don't you adjust sfpm and feed based on length of cut ?? He said no. I acted extremely surprised and thought no way would I get the job. But he must have thought about it and sure a facemill with a shallow DOC and 800 sfpm and 0.008 ipt is possible but also an end mill with a long length and deep DOC and you might have trouble running at 200 sfpm and 0.002 ipt
.
My guess is the hiring people do not know what questions to even ask.

Hey guys,
We appreciate the input, and yes, these are bulleted items we ask of our applicants. However, we look at all quality-skilled applicants as we do "hands-on" interview as well.
I will discuss this issue with our engineers.
Check out International Tool | Quality Focused Manufacturing under our careers page and please submit your information.

Please disregard the remark of "Minimum Associate's Degree Required". All qualified applicants will have hands-on interview with engineer.

Thank you,
International Tool

is this an engineer that has machining experience or just a design tech? I actually get more (how do I) questions from engineers then questions I have for them. GE France nuclear turbine plant used to send their engineers to ask me (will this work). I wouldnt mind submitting a resume but would like to make sure the guy administering the hands on test knows how to figure SFM or IPT.
