Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
I was contacted by a recruiter and asked if I was interested in a Business Center Manager position within one of a possible three manufacturing facilities. After about a week, I received an email to complete an online assessment. Almost immediately after the assessment, I received another email with a link to schedule a phone screen. The phone screen was about a week later and it was conducted by a 3rd party company (not Goodyear). The phone screen was pretty awkward because it was only 30 minutes but they wasted the first 10 minutes asking information that was already on your resume - then they asked about 9 additional questions - the person on the other end typed in information as you spoke and there was very little two-way dialogue. My interview went 10 minutes over. The questions were typical...why are you the best person for the job? Describe a technical process in a non-technical way. Tell me about a time you say someone violate a safety policy. ... About a week went by and they sent another email to stay tuned for further updates, and then finally after another week, I received a rejection email.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Akron, OH (took 1+ week)
I applied online about 2 months ago and almost forgot about it. Then I received a phone call asking me to schedule an interview online with different time options. Then on the day of interview, a HR called to ask all behavior questions. The interview lasted for about 30minutes and you don't have chance to ask questions. Then you received another email asking you to fill in some information. After 7 days, I called to check my status and I was told I was going to have a face to face interview and I should look out for my emails. However, I did not receive any email so I called a couple of days later and I was told that the position had already been filled.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Akron, OH (took 2 days)
I applied online. They have an outside firm do their hiring process, so the first step was matching my abilities and skills to the job. I was confirmed in a few days and the next step was an extensive questionaire. Once it's determine that you are potentially a good canditate from the questionaire a phone interview is scheduled. The information fromt he interview is passed on to the Hiring Manager/Team for a scheduled in person interview.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Akron, OH (took 2 months)
Interview process was very demanding and required a lot of work but they keep you very well informed. Started with multiple personality tests and very thorough background checks.Had multiple phone interviews and was then flown to Akron for a panel and multiple 1:1s. Everyone was great. Interviews were tough. They were very upfront with everything. The HR director asked the dreaded "what do you feel is your greatest weakness?" question. I was told that this was what kept me from getting the position. I said that I could be cocky but had realized it and was working on it. The people who were offered the position seemed to lean towards saying they had organization issues.
