Interviewed Jul 2008 (took 3+ weeks)
It seem to be a average interview that a large company would have....tell me when you had to overcome objections. Those type of questions very scripted.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took a day)
This was one of the most exciting phone interviews I've ever had. The recruiter was very positive and upbeat. She explained the job very well, asked me clear questions, and told me a lot about the company. She even encouraged me to continue to pursue my goals within Hershey. I'm absolutely looking forward to the next step of the interview process. She let me know that I would definately hear something within the next week.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Tampa, FL (took a day)
I found this position posted on Craigslist - it did not provide any info regarding pay. After I applied for the position (for which I was an excellent fit with extensive related professional experience) I was instructed to complete their online application, which required me to complete payrates at my previous positions. (In my last sales position I made appr $70k/yr.) Then I wasasked via email to schedule a phone interview. I spent appr. 8 hours of my time preparing for this interview. The interview lasted appr 2 minutes. The interviewer was 10 minutes late in calling me, there was no human or rapport building on her part, went straight to questioning.
1st Q: why are you looking for a PT job?
2nd Q: this job requires carrying 40 lbs of merchandise. is that acceptable to you?
3rd Q: this job requires using a handheld computer. is that acceptable to you?
4th & final Q: this job pays $12/hr. is that acceptable to you? (I said no and the interviewer immediately ended the call).
I was shocked and surprised to learn that Hershey does not value 20 yrs of professional experience and a college degree and that they expect to pay someone with that background the same as someone w/a GED and no professional experience. I was also disheartened that they didn't share the non-negotiable pay rate up front, thereby wasting 8 hours of my time! (I would never have applied for the job in the first place had I known the payrate.) I shared this same feedback with the recruiter, but have a strong suspicion nothing will change with their process.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took a day)
I was emailed by a recruiter in a form letter asking the best time for an interview question. The only real job question, outside of conversation, asked about a time I persuaded someone to do something they initially did not want to do.

Fairly simple. I hear it is getting more complex. Be persistant. Ask for the job- it is sales- sell yourself!
