Interviewed Aug 2010 in La Jolla, CA (took 4 weeks)
I made a cold call to the company and they responded within a week with an interest to discuss the possibility of a hire. They were clearly interested and ready for hiring. I think that do the home work to find a interesting company which is ready to expand is most important. Make it easy for them to like you and want you. Avoid being complicated, like requiring a huge moving package or bonus.
