applied (via random drawing/sign-up at local unemployment office) in June...offered the job in October; due to 1,000s of applicants overloading GM for these factory jobs (which tend to be in local areas that are economically underdeveloped -- even if part of metro areas, in the grand scheme of things), GM forced you to apply not to them, but to/at the local unemployment office. If GM wanted to follow-up with you, they'd do so on their own (unknown) timetable. When you got the callback, it came by phone from a regional GM human resources call center. They'd do a maybe 10-15 minute phone interview with typical job interview Qs you'd get in a Walmart interview. If you answered well enough, in that same phone call, they'd ask you how soon you could report for work, if hired; if you'll submit to a drug test and background test; and (if you agreed) then book you for a time to come to the factory for the drug test.
