Interviewed Sep 2011 in San Diego, CA (took 2 days)
The interviewer is a very rude person. She will speak to you in a very condescending way from the beginning. At least they're not fooling you ! That is how it will continue to be throughout your employment. Their tests are really good to determine who is a qualified candidate, but they definitely lack the 'people skills'.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
There is no negotiation. You accept their offer because it is the only option you have if you need a job, not because it is in fact a good offer.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a Skills Test.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 days)
Initial web based presentation outlining the position, skills, and compensation. Then an initial interview with a recruiter who offers a practice test on the basic interpreting skills. A second formal test with a job offer extended (subject to background check) upon successfully passing the test. The web presentation is very useful to potential recruits in determining whether they should continue with the job application process. Once documentation is cleared, paid training takes about 4-5 days and is scheduled with a "batch" of other applicants..
The first part of training is a lengthy set of training modules outlining how the interpretation process works, the skills required, company policies, laws and regulations as we as ethics. This is followed by a two day instructor-led session that emphasizes review of company Guidelines and practical interpretation roleplay exercises.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Monterey, CA (took 2 days)
The company I interviewed with no longer exists and was taken over by Language Line Services. I never went through an interview process with them, so I would not be able to inform you about it.
I did take a test, passing gets the job.

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took 2 weeks)
The online application is user friendly. The day they contacted me for the interview, they have provided me with all the information about the position. The interview process is long, but very organized. Everything is done over the phone or the web. The support team and management are available to provide any job related support and in a prompt manner.

A recruitor talks to ou and finds out about your skills and experience. It's followed by a language assesment exam conducted by another person. If you pass the language test, you take a interpreter's exam. It involves interpreting two situations.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Murrieta, CA (took 2 weeks)
Initiatated by applying online and filling out application. Submitted Resume and Cover Letter online. Two weeks later I was contacted by phone by an interpreter recruiter. I was briefly interviewed for about an hour and then took a preliminary interpretion test. The following day i took the actual test and did ok. I decided to opt for retaking the test to have a higher score. My retest is scheduled for the next week.
