Interviewed May 2010 (took a day)
I was initially sent an email regarding the application process and then recieved a phone call shortly afterwards, which was basically a more informal interview. The questions were general and then became more specific. Much of the specific questions were to clarify my qualifications and I think to see how keen I was for the job in the longterm.
