Interviewed Apr 2009 in Berkeley, CA (took a day)
We only had to submit an application. So there is no interview. There is the recruiting visit, which is the best part about the whole experience. You get to meet with current graduate students as well as the professors.

Interviewed Sep 2010 (took 1 week)
Asked questions regarding resume and clarifications on some things/previous experience. Interviewed by 3 people and took about an hour. No trick questions but just about previous work and also school (since they are looking for under classman that can work for several years). Relaxed environment and went fairly smoothly I would say.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Berkeley, CA (took a day)
After I submitted my online application, it took about 45 days before I was called for an interview. I was interviewed by 3 people. The interview went well, I liked the people. They had recently created the position, so they were not absolutely sure exactly what the job would entail, but I liked what I heard about the possibilities and responsibilities. I am waiting to hear whether they will offer me the job.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Berkeley, CA (took 4 weeks)
Put in my qualifications for education consultant to administer a federal grant through one of the professors at UC Berkeley for a position needing someone immediately. Got through the first round based on my qualifications as applied to the requirements of the position. Wrote a follow-up proposal detailing salary expectations, answering many more specific questions about the specific tasks of the position. Gained clarification over the phone about process of selection and timing. Was told the project was being "rescaled" and that I would hear. Left a phone message and an email message for follow-up. Did not hear. Suspect the grant was altered in some way. Not sure of outcome, but learned a valuable lesson about how to spend my time and respond to cues as to seriousness of job listing. If a prospective hirer is in a hurry to get someone, but fails to respond in a timely fashion, that may be a clue.
