Interviewed Feb 2011 in Santa Fe Springs, CA (took a day)

Had a phone interview, then was invited for on-site interview. When I arrived, I was asked to fill out paperwork and do a basic writing test on how I would respond to an email message from a customer order. After completion of my paperwork/writing test, the interview starts. I was interviewed by a total of 3 different people. After the first interviewer, I sat down and observed a customer service rep (I believe this was the position I was interviewing for). After several minutes of observing the cust. service rep, I was asked to listen to a voice recording, take notes, and compose an email message. During the interview, I found out that there is no promotion opportunity at McMaster. I was asked if I was comfortable being in a long term position that wouldn't lead to a managerial role.

Resume submission, request for more information -- describe a challenge in your professional, personal or community life with the solution and what you learned through the experience, phone interview

The phone interview was informative. The position/role description varied from the generic description provided with the position announcement. I was asked about salary requirements at the conclusion of the phone interview.
