Interviewed Mar 2011 in Sahuarita, AZ (took a day)
The interview was a panel of one HR rep and 2 other managers. They asked many behavioral questions and then more pointed questions based on your answers. For this entry level position, the interview seems long, at nearly 2 hours.

Interviewed May 2010 in Morenci, AZ (took 1 week)
I received a call from the HR rep asking if I am still interested and then scheduled a phone interview. In the official phone interview, both the HR rep and my future boss were present. First, I was asked basic questions like "can you work in the U.S?" from the same HR rep. She described the position further and asked questions like: can you give an example of an ethical situation where you had to act, can you give an example of a safety situation where you had to act, what's a weakness, what's a strength?? Then, my future boss asked me questions about my experience with MS Access/Excel/CAD/Inventor. Not really technical, more like "have you worked with this? and if so what specifically? ok, cool." the only weird part was the long pauses that were after each question because both of them were writing down my responses.
I was notified I got the job two business days later. Thereafter, it was a long annoying outsourced background check that was followed by an extensive physical of everything (x-ray, lung capacity, movement, vision, hearing, urine, etc) done at a clinic near me. Only in passing these, I received an official offer letter letter at $21.50 (one of the higher paid internships at the site by two bucks) and then a housing form (free and surprisingly nicely furnished housing!).

Interview was set up at location. Interview with corporate and plant location executives. Background check by Hireright was a little different.

Interviewed May 2009 in Norwich, CT (took a day)
When I finally received the interview notice via e-mail, I was both happy, and shocked that I was being considered. The first interview was over the phone with a representative from the human resources department. She asked me a few basic questions regarding the position to see if I was qualified for it...like a pre-screening process.. A few days later I was called in for a formal interview with the department heads. The questions questions were relatively basic, and there were some trade specific question. A few trade specific questions I simply could not answer because I have never been actively involved with the mining industry. It seems to be a nice place to work, however looks can be deceiving. Good Luck, and God Bless.
