Highlight these abilities when asked, listen carefully before you speak.
Follow directions and procedures.
Make personal and facility safety a priority.
Discuss personal punctuality and discipline
Discuss your desire for further learning and training.
This is entry level, but you can set yourself apart by good basics as above. Reread the job description, be able to articulate your ability for the tasks involved or required. If you have not done so go to the company website and read/memorize their vision and values. Be able to reframe these as your own (if you are hired they will be).
If you are given a plant tour, if you see garbage on the walk, pick it up and drop it in a trash can. I used to work for a GM that would walk through a plant and never fail to collect a handful of garbage, mirroring is a powerful tool, do what you see the team do.
Oh and best of luck.

For the mill you need decent numeracy skills. See if you can throw some numbers into your work experience stories like "well we only got XX m^2 per pallet so a big part of the job was laying out the pallets when unloading the truck to keep the site neat. Normal 4 bed house was YY pallets" or for farming "we'd spray 3 times a year but the application rates kinda depended on the rainfall..."

Is this by any chance the company northern star? If so then hook me up! I've been trying to get a underground miner position for months!
