Interviewed Sep 2008 in Los Angeles, CA (took 3 months)
It was weeks after I applied online before I was contacted about an interview. Then there were more weeks before the second interview, this time with two other people. Then another week passed before I was told about a phone interview with yet another employee, this time for specific details about a particular area of my experience. Finally, nearly three months after I applied, I was offered the position. The hiring manager told me that HR was very slow in getting to the phase where the job could actually be filled.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I was told that the high end of the stated salary ranges are not available to new employees, that they're the highest pay that can be offered someone in that position regardless of their length of service. No idea whether that's true, but be prepared. I was caught off guard by that and ended up with a lower salary than I wanted. (But the benefits are great.)
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jan 2008 in Los Angeles, CA (took a day)
This was an assistant position in the UCLA School of Theatre Television and Film. Was told I was overqualified but to my background as a TV news producer and public relations manager. Although the University is huge, the department is rather small relatively speaking and seemed very underfunded and behind the times as far as office equipment, administration, and processes.

Interviewed May 2009 (took 4+ weeks)
Applied; Received panel interview , was invited back for second round panel interview. Advice: Be calm, understand what you want from the position. You'll be interviewed by several physicians in the second panel; not as much technical knowledge but a lot of questions about interacting with people

Able to negatiate a 1/3 increase in initial offer, took an extra week to hear from them but they eventually complied.

Interviewed Nov 2008 (took 2 weeks)
An extremely simple one on one interview. We just went over part of my resume that were relevant to the job. The environment and culture was described to me and I was told what was necessary of the position. The interview was extremely brief and not difficult.

Interviewed Nov 2008 in Los Angeles, CA (took a day)
I applied for residency position thru the ERAS and received an on-campus interview. They were all one on one interviews where my interviewers just wanted to get to know me better as a candidate. There were no hard case questions. Overall a pleasant experience. Ultimately ranked the program and matched.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Los Angeles, CA (took 4 days)
It was pretty simple, I cold called and asked if they had a job, and they said they might, and asked about my qualifications. I pretty much read line by line down my resume, and he said I had good experiences. He asked what I was looking to do, I told him, and he said that seemed reasonable. We talked money for a bit and I got the job sight-unseen.
