Interviewed Apr 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 2 weeks)
I applied online to JBHunt.com for their manager trainee position in Chicago, IL. At firest I wasn't sure if this meant actual Chicago or the surrounding suburbs.
I was first contacted by recruiter from corporate in Arkansas. She asked me if I was interested in conducting a phone interview, which we scheduled probably 2 days later. After the phone interview, I was informed that they wante to bring me in for a face-to-face interview. I interviewed on a Friday--about 9 days after the initial contact, and had an interview with 2 Account Managers. They asked me a series of questions about my education, past employment, and situational questions. The interview took about an hour. Both managers had been with JB Hunt for numerous years, so you could tell that they had knowledge for the company.
The following Tuesday, I was offered the position over the phone. I didn't accept right away because I was interviewing with another company, and the recruiter never gave me a straight answer on where I would start.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Kansas City, MO (took 3 weeks)
I found the job opening the my alma mater's career center, applied online through J.B. Hunt's website. Received a phone call 1 1/2-2 weeks later from HR, set up phone interview for 2 days later. Had 30 minute phone interview, typical behavior-based interview questions, what I knew about the industry/company. Really good interview, heard back the following week they wanted to set up a face to face interview with the hiring manager. Drove to Kansas City for an in-person interview with that location's manager, lasted about 30 minutes. I think the manager was trying to test me by asking difficult questions one after the other.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 1 week)
received call from human resources. reviewed my background and experience. asked some questions regarding my resume. she then set up a personal interview with the hiring manager. the hiring manger was twenty years younger. he was pleasant and he talked about the position. but he asked me very little about my experience or background. at that point I knew that age was an issue. if you are over fifty forget it.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Romulus, MI (took 2 days)
Had two interviews. First went well and had no problems with the guy interviewing. Second interview the guy thought he was gods gift to earth and it was impossible to satisfy him with an answer. It didn't even seem like he was paying attention. Good company to work for though. Just wished I interviewed with someone else.

Interviewed Aug 2010 (took a day)
Found the job posting online. Applied and was contacted by e-mail by HR to set up a phone interview. Phone interview went well and the HR person set up a second phone interview. That went well and an in person interview with the Regional Manager was set up. I attended that and it went well. The Regional Manager told me to e-mail if I was interested in going to the next step. I did so and never heard back from him. Sent a follow up e-mail and never heard back. I contacted the HR person I first spoke with and was told I would be notified of any decision on the job made. I was not notified. The interview process was fine but I would have liked to be called back/e-mailed about what happened with the position, even if I was not chosen.
