Interviewed Dec 2011 in Greeley, CO (took 1 week)
I started out by filling out an online application. I received an email 2 days later asking me to fill out 2 seperate tests. One was for personality & the other was for competency. 2 days after completing those I received an email saying I passed those tests & would be contacted by HR. I received a call later that afternoon to set up an in-person interview, which was set for the next morning. I interviewed with 2 people, thinking department managers but never got their titles. The questions started with basic HR questions aobut can I work certain hours, days, work environment. The rest were about my background & how I would or have handled certain situations. They liked having specific examples as part of the answer. The people were ok, got a good vibe from them (for what that's worth), the office area was very nice & clean.

Reason for Declining
I haven't heard back yet but if they do offer it do me I'd decline because of the low pay.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Group/Panel Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Skills Test, a Personality Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 1 week)
Initially, I received a call from the employer's manager. After making a good impression on the Office Manager, she invited me to meet with her and the Agent about a week later. The interview was with both the Office Manager and Agent. The interview was more a conversation, it seemed more like a test of my character and charisma. It was helpful that I did some outside research on the Agent. At the end, they both loved my personality and intelligence but wanted to hire someone who spoke a certain language. Though they did not offer me the job, at the same time they referred me to another Agent who was hiring at the time and after interviewing with her, similar process, I received an offer within 2 days.
It is important to keep your composure, try not to do any movements that indicate nervousness or uncertainty, after all, the position you are applying for is sales. Be confident in your answers and speak clearly and intelligently. While the interview style is conversational, be sure to include your skills and past experiences into the convo as well. I personally believe I got the job offer and referral because I was able to keep the conversation flowing, crack a few smart jokes, ask questions about business and personal, but not too personal, and genuine interest in the field.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Bloomington, IL (took 4+ weeks)
HR Recruiter contacted me after I applied online. Since I was not near Bloomington, my interview was over the phone with a group of about 4-5 people. The interview was about my background, experience, and interests. They also asked about the particular department I applied for and why I was interested in that field.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Bloomington, IL (took a day)
Pretty informal, a few questions in regards how I would go about doing things. Specially in hard situations. I was hired through a internship fair, so my hiring process was pretty unusual.
