Interviewed Feb 2011 in Irwindale, CA (took 3 weeks)
I was contacted by one of SCE's contracting agencies. I had to go online to do several microsoft software skills test ie; word, excel, access and project. I passed all 4, then they called to schedule a phone interview with the screening manager. I passed this as well and they scheduled an in person interview with the same manager. After I successfully made it through this interview, they scheduled a panel interview. There were (3) managers and they asked different sets of questions, behavioral, technical and personal.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Rosemead, CA (took a day)
The hiring process was smooth and quick. The interview process was very normal. Basically, you are interviewed by either 1 or more managers and they take turns asking questions. They also record what they hear from you. They also challenge what you know in a technical interview. They will add on to what you answer as well to get more in depth with the question.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Santa Ana, CA (took 4 months)
I applied online to a job in September 2011. My resume went through a resume screening process. After passing the screening process I was selected to test. I went to the training center and tested in a group with other people going for the same job. The two tests I took were a word and excel test and both required a passing grade of "basic." The testing was very stressful, my heart was pounding. If I didn’t pass I would immediately be disqualified from the job interviews. Lucky for me, I passed. I received notification by email about a week later that I passed both test at advanced level. My resume and test scores were put through another screening process. I was then selected to interview. My interview was scheduled 1 week after I received the call. My interview was scheduled for 1 hour but took only 45 minutes. They asked me a series of questions. I presented them with a portfolio w/ my resume, cover letter, test scores, and examples of my work. It helped me a lot. When answering questions I would refer to my portfolio to show examples. I highly suggest creating a portfolio for Southern California Edison interviews. I interviewed on a Friday and received the phone call that I got the job on a Tuesday. It's now January 2012, and I am supposed to start next week. It was a 4 month process from beginning to end.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 2 weeks)
The first round of interviews took about 45 minutes and was focused around a case interview. They also asked a few questions about my resume and previous experiences. They called me about one week after the first round to invite me for a second round of interviews. The second round of interviews was the next week at their office. This interview took about 4 hours. There were 2 more case interviews with other analysts, a panel interview with some of the managers, and more questions about my resume and past experiences. It was a long, tiring afternoon, but a good experience overall.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Rosemead, CA (took 4 weeks)
It was a temp job for 2 years. It took 3 weeks after the temp agency submitted my application to get an interview. There was only 1 interview with 2 managers. They asked alot of situational questions to test your analytical thought process. What experiences you have had in the past that applied to the job. The managers were very friendly.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took a day)
I didn't get the names of the interviewers and they asked irrelevant questions. I was qualified, but I never found out why I was not selected. I believe the company would be a good place to work for though.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 1 week)
I applied online through my schools job connection website. I got a phone call within a week and was asked if i could come in for an interview that Friday morning (2 days later). I went for the interview where I was interviewed by 3 people, they all took down notes of all the questions i was asked. It was a lot of Questions like, give me an example of when you worked in a team. Why do you want to work for Edison? What is your GPA? Give me an example when someone explained something to you that was too complicated for you to understand, and what did you do after. Give me an example of what you did when you didn't know how to solve a technical problem. What is your major and why did you choose it. Stuff like that. Believe it was 10 questions total. The three people interviewing me were extremely nice, and i knew 30 seconds into the interview that i would get an offer just because of the way they were so kind and extremely positive with me. We all shared a few big laughs as well, so it was more of a get to know me kind of thing. They told me that it would take 7-10 days to hear from an HR rep about the outcome of my interview. I believe 3 hours after i left, i got an email from an HR rep to fill out a job application. The following Monday, i was called so they could verify some info over the phone, and verify my transcripts. Then the next day i was called and asked if i wanted to accept the offer they were giving me. He also set an appointment for me to go in the upcoming Friday to fill out all the paper work, sign my offer letter and take the drug test. That Friday i went in, signed all the papers and took the drug test on spot. I took my picture for my ID badge and am set to start in a few weeks.
