Interview Details – Face to face interview with supervisor, very by-the-book. Lots of questions requiring examples of resolving complaints and taking on responsibility, which became monotonous.

Interview Details – The first interview was a telephone interview, and was fantastic. The hiring manager really understood the position, and knew what he was looking for. Then, the process slowed down as all involved had to wait for HR to set up the next portion of the interview. This consisted of apparently corporate mandated skills tests that had nothing to do with the position. It was a very strange test combination, especially since HR even admitted neither test had anything to do with what the job entailed. If you didn't pass both tests, with one that had very poor instructions and no advance warning so you could prepare for it, you were not allowed to go on to the scheduled interview with the manager of the department, and his team. If you fail the tests, HR comes back and informs you that you cannot continue and sends you on your way, so be aware of this when budgeting your time for the interview; you're told it will be at least a 2 hour process, but if you don't get beyond the tests it is only 1 hour. To me, it's a very strange way to determine if someone can do a job, and they must lose out on many great candidates when they send you on your way with no chance to complete your interview if you can't do an arbitrary test with little advanced warning.
