Interviewed Sep 2010 in Honolulu, HI (took 2 weeks)

Met with Amazon recruiter at a Service Academy Career Fair in San Diego. Applied online for this position, and was contacted via email within approximately a week by senior recruiter, who arranged a phone interview. Interview lasted approximately 30 minutes, and consisted mostly of translating career military experience into business-related capabilities. Focus was on leadership experience, running large teams, and developing process improvements with metrics. Recruiter then arranged a second interview with executive in charge of all the retail business services position. Interviewer was friendly and informative, explaining the historical development of retail business service function at Amazon. Interview process may still continue...awaiting word.

Interviewed Jul 2009 (took a day)

Very straight forward phone interview process to make sure I was a right fit for the job. Being in the military, it was a smooth transition process from one job to the next, I was just looking for a change in organizations. Not really a true interview process in that it was just applying for a new military position.

Very detailed and difficult interview. Was brought to Washington DC for a multi-day interview with a panel of 6 senior ranking military and civilian leaders. Then I had multiple one on one interviews to determine my suitability for the position. I had a drug test and a polygraph test, extensive medical and educational screening and an in depth personality quiz.

A phone interview withe Air Force for a civilian position. Just five questions and 20 total minutes. I suspect that I was not really in the running, as I was not even given a chance to ask questions at the end of the interview. It was basically the 20 minutes then, thanks and good bye.
