Interviewed Dec 2008 in Santa Fe Springs, CA (took a day)
This was a long process initially that consisted of applying online, getting an in person interview at a Kelly Services branch, lots of testing, a background check, and calling every week several times and several locations. I finally called into the Santa Fe Springs office and was offered an interview with Kaiser. I interviewed the next week and started the next day. I then submitted to a drug test and have been here for almost a year and a half. I love my job!

Interviewed Jul 2009 in Skillman, NJ (took 3 weeks)
Did a phone interview with the temp agency. A week or so later I was called to an in person interview on the Skillman campus. Arrived at Skillman, interviewed with my direct report 1:1 for about an hour which was a pretty positive experience, discussed my background and skills and how well I'd fit the position.
After that I interviewed with the manager at the time for about 30mins 1:1 which was pretty similar. Not a very tense or tough interview, pretty relaxed. I don't think they were expecting much since I am only a temp. About 2weeks after I interviewed I got a call back extending an offer to me which I accepted. Note that I only got the offer because their lead candidate failed a background check.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Livonia, MI (took a day)
Interview was at a bank. Position was in data entry. It was a very nice building. Offices were full of cubicles. The interview was brief. The interviewer talked endlessly. I had a few comments about my previous skills in data entry (accuracy and speed). I couldn't think of anything else of value to add. Then the interviewer talked, and talked, and talked.....
