Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 months)
There were several interviews. Interviewers were friendly until I got to the technical people. The person who interviewed me was late and didn't even took the time to apologize or make an excuse and seem to be in hurry. Questions were unpredictable and unrelated to the position. End up with a wrong impression of the company.

Quick. Simply fill out application, submit your cv on website. Write a letter. Go in for a 1 -1 interview then wait to be called for work. Some are never called others are continuously called . Hiring depends on experience and interviewee's ability to meet flexible or sudden scheduling changes without notice.

Negotiation Details
none: take it now or leave it situation. Worked there twice. and both times was contacted for my availability timings and was then later contacted to start work. Beyond a cursory interview there was little else. However, faculty was under stress to perform well at their teaching observations by management which occurred frequently. Overall a good place to work but don't look for a permanent position they are notorious for keeping 'almost' full time adjuncts with minimal benefits for years and years. Also faculty is generally happy with the city and workload and generally unhappy with the limited retirement , savings or opportunities for promotion. However the U of A has worked in this manner for a really long time and there is no need to change as long as there are more PHD and doctorates needing work than work spots needing to be filled. Current economic crises and limited budgets works to encourage over reliance on adjunct instructors on contract. However this occured a long time before the economic crises so it was a budge policy for some time and is likely to remain so unless for some reason the number of applicants reduce in the future.

Interviewed May 2010 (took 1+ week)
Interviewed for the assisstantship with the department head and a student in the program. Heard back around two weeks later. Everyone in the office is extremely helpful and willing to collaborate. Most of the staff genuinely care about the students and really want to make a difference in their lives. Additionally many of the staff have to work second or third jobs due to the low salaries.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Tucson, AZ (took 3 months)
The interview process is quite long and can vary in length depending on the background check. Once the background check is completed and successfully passed, the three person panel interview consists of hypothetical questions relating to police/security scenarios. Come prepared to be asked a lot of questions.
