Initial phone interview to verify application and answer simple questions in regards to sales experience and how you deal with diverse populations. How would you work in a fast-pace environment?

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 9 months)
They contacted me from CareerBuilder, then took 9 months to hire me. I had to create a profile, list everything I've done for seven years. Then, in the middle of the process, they told me that they changed their talent database, and I had to do ANOTHER profile, ANOTHER 70+ question "personality" test, and everything else. I interviewed for four positions, and was told I was being considered for a couple more. But after every single time, I had to contact the recruiter, and I usually got no response for a week after my followup. The responses I did get would be one line emails like, "Did the store manager not reach out to you?", or, "They decided to go with another candidate." In the case of the first one, it took an entire week for the recruiter to tell me that the hiring manager was on vacation. Then it took another week to be told that they had gone with someone else, and there was no further explanation given. After I left\ my last interview, I fully believed that I would be working at one particular store. I was told that this part was just more of a "meet and greet". They kept me waiting for two days, and then the recruiter called me after 6:30PM to tell me that they had hired someone else... but, would I consider yet another job? I took it out of pure desperation.
Negotiation Details
There is a little room, but in general, I feel that they take so long in the hiring process so that you feel lucky to have gotten the job. In my case, I just took what they offered because I needed something.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Personality Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 2 weeks)
Applied online like everyone else. Got a call from a recruiter and they do a mini phone interview to hear what you have to say. Obviously you have to sound ethusiastic when your on the phone with them. Next step if you make it will be an interview with a time and date. Interview process is pretty much standard across the board. I didnt get a job offer, I flunked my interview because I was not prepared. Biggest tip for phone and 1:1 interviews. Have your answers prepared! Most companies use the STAR interview method, so get the most common questions asked and have an answer already prepared. This way the interview goes well instead of making up a quick story or being stuck on a question. Secondly, you have to remember that there are more people they are interviewing so you have to "stand out" from the rest and be "memorable". and lastly do your homework about the company. If you follow these 3 rules, you will get the job you want!

Interviewed Jul 2009 (took a day)
I recently had my first interview with US Cellular. I was pretty nervous at first because a lot of people has posted some pretty negative things about this company. I must say I was surprised by my interview, in a really good way! All three of the people interviewing me were very nice, well spoken, answered all of my questions. They really seemed like they were interested in what I had to say. I was called back only a few hours later and asked to take the assesment test. I undesrtand it is a 3 part process, and I guess some people take offense to that, but I think it's a good idea. Overall, I was very happy with my interview, and this is a company I would really like to work for.
