“I researched Finning and knew I wanted to be part of the company. After doing more research I discovered you were the leading caterpillar dealers in the world and I remember during my interview that's what I said and it made everyone smile. The recruitment process was so fast and straightforward and everything we always hear as job seekers is to show that we want to work for the company but I believe it goes both ways and I felt it with Finning, I saw that I was wanted in the company and everybody has been lovely so far. I had my interview in the morning and the same day I got a job offer. This has really been boosting me to come in and do a great job, meet everyone and learn from their experiences”.
