Interviewed Nov 2010 in Calgary, AB (Canada) (took 4 weeks)
Internal job posting, was a presentation to show demonstrated skills in organizational design and strategic change. Behavioural questions from panel. Advice, come prepared with questions, and do your research on the particular department or area of interest. Use references from inside the organization to get a face-to-face interview. Very professional interview setting, takes a long time to get an offer though.

Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I was able to negotiate a 30% salary increase due to the increased responsibilities of the reclassified position. My advice is to know the market and have a firm idea of your salary expectations prior to receiving an offer, and be prepared to provide justification.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Calgary, AB (Canada) (took 2 days)
Individual faculty members tend to to unofficially interview candidates because of new hiring policies, they have to post the position publicly but want to make sure there's going to be at least one keeper. This will vary greatly between individual positions due to the individual people operating on their own. The HR process is excruciatingly slow. The technical questions seemed more design to filter out people that don't know what they're doing than to get to know the candidate.
