Interviewed Jul 2011 in Calgary, AB (Canada) (took 3+ weeks)
I first found Bell Canada through an advertisement on Kijiji.ca. I saw that the posting was fairly new, so I decided to get on the ball and send a resume quick. I had to fill out an online survey from a third party. It took about 10 minutes. Four days later, I woke up to a message on my phone asking to schedule a phone interview. I was really happy, and I quickly returned the call to a rep via long distance. I briefly spoke to the rep, and we set up a time to interview that afternoon.
The phone rang promptly at the chosen time, and I was asked target interview questions. The interview went well. He then notified me that I would receive an online invitation to do a survey from a third party and that this was required as part of the recruiting process. He explained to me that I would hear back within the next couple days. As expected, within a few seconds I received the e-mail. The survey was a repeat of the survey I had to initially take but longer. It was a skills test with multiple choice questions to evaluate your personality.
The next morning I woke up to my phone ringing and this time answered the call. It was the two managers from the two closest hiring stores. They asked to set up an interview with me. Upon setting up a date, we exchanged contact information and said our goodbyes. The next day, I arrived on time and met with the two managers. They had me sit outside the store (the location was in a mall) on a couch, where the two sat at each of my sides. They asked me similar target interview questions.
Next, they asked me for two government-issued ID cards. I provided them with my health care and driver's license. They then came back with a form to be filled out in entirety. This is where it gets interesting.
The form was for the criminal record check. It required your Social Insurance and Social Security number (only for the States). The manager obviously was not familiar with the hiring process, as she was unsure whether I should fill in the form titled "United States and Other Countries". I noticed the field of Social Security Number and realized that that's for the States, but I filled it in anyway, substituting that for my Social Security Number.
The next interesting thing is that they required three references. Now these aren't your typical references; labelled on the form is the requirement for references that do not include personal or social acquaintances or family (only supervisors). For me my job history wasn't a good one, but I put the information down anyway and left one field blank. I told her I "forgot" the number. She informed me that I would be contacted and that I could later provide her with the information. Tricky issue, right?
If I could redo this part, I would recommend using your friends as references and then having them play along to confirm the legitimacy of the positions listed.
I'm still waiting on a response, but I'm pretty sure that contacting my former employers will alert to some sort of "security risk", and my reputation will be tarnished. Good try, but now I know for next time :).

Interviewed Nov 2008 in New Westminster, BC (Canada) (took a day)
Applying to a slow store results in an easy interview. They need you and they'll hire you however bad you mess up. Slow stores have a lot of turnover because commission pay is so low.
