Interviewed Jul 2011 in New York, NY (took 3 days)
Applied online, got a call from HR within a couple of days, generic questions such why do you want to make a move, what makes you a good employee etc, then setup a call with IT Manager. 2 rounds of technical interview with the same person. First was a telephonic interview, questions to understand how good the candidate is with Oracle ERP, second was a webconference kind of interview in which interviewer asked me to navigate Oracle screens and similar stuff. Than they spoke to the references i provided, setup a call with Director, very generic questions, it was more of a discussion. Sent offer letter within 2 days.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Orlando, FL (took 2 weeks)
First there was a a phone interview with a recruiter. I then was emailed a link to take a series of tests mostly concerning spelling, nouns, adverbs....this took about an hour to complete. The recruiter called me and said I did very well and invited me in for a 1 on 1. I felt this interview went well and was invited for a second with the Director and Supervisor (2 on 1).
They alternated with questions that were read directly from a sheet of paper. Most questions were geared towards how I handled situations with previous clients.

I have been asked how to facilitate the clinical skills to the international doctors. I did remind them that they are already doctors with sound knowledge and my part was to facilitate the US guidelines in clinical practice.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 6 days)
I attended a recruitment and had an interview with one of the recruiters for the admissions advisor position. The recruiter gave me an invite to the open house/job fair at Kaplan, which I attended. Before the open house, I had a phone screen interview with another recruiter and was asked about why I am interested in the position, how my experiences in the past relate to this position and educational background and work history questions. The recruiters told me to apply online for the selected position as well, which I did using the link they emailed to me. The invitation-only job fair I attended consisted of two tests (simple Outlook test, just sending an email with an attachment; and a spelling and grammar test) and a one-on-one in-depth interview with a more senior recruiter. A manager gave a presentation about Kaplan and stated what a day in the life of an admissions advisor is like: 90% of the day is spent calling "warm" leads and advisors make about 100 dials per day. She also stated that the minimum employment requirements for an admissions advisor are of at least 2 enrolled students per month. The in-depth interview consisted of questions that were behavioral in nature and it is best to give examples of how you satisfied customers, reached your goals in the past, had a dilemma at work that you resolved. The recruiter scheduled a panel interview with the assistant directors of admissions for another day which also consisted of behavioral questions. You have to convince them why they should choose you above all other applicants and what skills you have. The interview went well and then the recruiters scheduled a phone interview with the directors of admissions. Again, the same type of example-driven and behavioral questions were asked. I was soon given an offer with a salary much higher than I expected with full benefits to start day one.

Reason for Declining
I declined because I realized that I would be intensely micromanaged, I did not want to work for a company that embraced the "revolving door" policy and I wanted a more stable and less sales-oriented job. In other words, this was a telemarketing position for an online educational institution and if you want to be a telemarketer then, yes, there are opportunities for an acceptable salary for today's economy and pretty good benefits.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
The interview was fairly easy. They called me first and took a brief interview over the phone. I was called for an in person interview. Two people from the level 2 support (I believe) took the interview. It went fairly well and they said they'd get back to me very soon. I heard back from them after two weeks saying that the role had not materialized yet.

Interviewed Sep 2010 (took 1 week)
I was offered only two timeslots to come in for an in person interview.. and when i asked to come in the fiollowing week when i was more accessible, I was declined and told they are filling the position by the end of the week. So i juggled my schedule and came in. Didn't get the job, and guess what? the same position was advertised 2 weeks later, for another 2 months.
Please work with people's schedules. I understand it's the employer's market right now, but courtesy and respect goes both ways.
