Interviewed Nov 2011 in Dallas, TX (took 3 weeks)
This was an application for an internal job and I was interviewed by HR and by the representatives of the hotel that I was applying at. In the initial interview the HR Rep told me how to answer the questions that the hotel managers would be asking. I did not get the job.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 5 months)
Applied online in mid-May 2011. About one month later, I was contacted by a recruiter to schedule a phone interview. Phone interview consisted of very simple, basic questions about my skills and experience. The recruiter said that while I was a strong candidate, there were no positions available for my experience level. I was told my resume would be kept on file, and that I should check PSAV's website around September or October when their big hiring season started. In early August, I was again contacted by the recruiter for an invitation-only "open house". This event consisted of a short presentation on the company and two individual interviews (one with HR and one with a director). HR asked typical interview questions like giving hypothetical scenarios on customer service. Director went over my resume and asked more technical skill-related questions. We were told that PSAV would contact us within a week to two weeks. They contacted me four weeks after the open house to offer a part-time on-call position. Then I needed to take a drug test and authorize the background check.

Interviewed May 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 4 months)
The first thing I would say is don't get discouraged at how long the process takes. I put in an application in November of 2010. I had forgotten about it until February when they contacted me to set up a phone interview.
First was a phone interview: The phone interview seemed like more of screen for competence. They questions were very standard questions you would see if you googled "common interview questions". Tell me about a time when... tell me you're best attribute etc.
I was then called for a face to face with the manager of property I'd be working at. It went well and was super easy... felt more like a tour of the property than an actual interview. Super basic questions regarding the position while we walked around. They hired internally but he recommended me for another open position to HR.
I had another similar interview for this new position and again they hired internally, but told me there would be some movement in the company and that job might open up. Well it did and I got it... but not without a little persistence with HR. Several times I was told they would contact me by a certain day. That day would go by and I would contact them a few days later to get an update. They were helpful, you just have to be persistent.

Interviewed Sep 2010 (took 3 weeks)
It was nothing out of the ordinary. Pretty much a standard process for a management position. Here about the position thru a friend who worked their and they got me in contact with the Senior Manager. Had a brief conversations and all seemed to be well. They then got me in contact with HR. The HR was a standard process the only really odd part was the HR rep seemed to be completely void of all personality and really didn't seem to care whether i was there or not. I got the sense i was an imposition and my presence was unwanted. Then i set up an appointment to be interviewed by committee. i randomly roamed from office to office while various managers asked me various questions. They ultimately sent me an offer letter. I declined.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The primary reason, I decided not to accept the position was because i was really put off by the sense of entitlement displayed by the managers who were interviewing me and at the same time demonstrating utter incompetence and complete lack of operational intelligence. One of the managers actually spent the entire portion of his interview talking about how great he was. The whole place had a weird vibe.

Interviewed Aug 2008 (took 2 months)
initial process with HR was fine. followup interview with perspective managers took entirely too long. they were not there at the appointed times of followup interviews. I had to make several followup trips. They were a heavy on the sales side and lacked operational understanding. at the time, seemed as if if could be a good fit. Agreed upon salary benefits and start date.
Arrived at the appointed time at the appointed place for the first official day. Introduced myself to the receptionist who had no clue who i was. After an hour, an accounts payable manager finally showed up who apologized but my direct reports were again not there, nor had they made anyone else aware. I sat in the reception area for 2 hours, went to lunch and returned. Sat in the reception area for and additional 2 hours. I asked to speak accounts manager who i had early spoke with and asked what would be the best course of action considering the circumstances. We agreed nothing further would be accomplished that day and i should return the following day.
I did so and received the same. Had i not returned the following day they would probably have not remembered to miss me. Finally on the 3rd day i was showed to my office and sat there. Spent some time introducing myself to the new office mates. it was nearly 2 weeks before i received the basic tools. Nearly 2 months before i was acknowledged by my reports or received any direction.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 1 week)
Phone interview on a Friday. 20-30 minutes. HR was not quite sure of what position I might be best for. PT, FT, Freelance. Maybe the talk of all three was just to keep me interested. End of the phone interview I was invited to a mass hiring session.
Met with two "Branch Managers" both liked me. Spent 15 minutes with each. One in his 40's, the other late 20's or early 30's. They appeared and sounded to be on the level about the amount of work I could find for myself with PSAV. You need to get cozy with the Event Coordinators/Planners to make sure you get more work. More work is more money. If you have the drive you can really shine.
