Interviewed May 2010 (took 2 weeks)
This is a sales position- not a counseling posistion. It is a call center atmosphere. It was not what I expected or what I was looking for.
Interviewer ask what I knew of University of Phoenix, how I heard of the position and why I would be a good fit for the company.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 1+ week)
The interview was held face-to-face with few questions about ability to meet responsibilities of the job. Instead the interviewer spent time telling how interviewer can do interviewer's job and in criticizing interviewer's predecessor.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Spokane Valley, WA (took 7 weeks)
Contacted 2.5wks after I submitted my resume. Group interview waited 3 days to be called for a second. Time between group interview and 2nd interview was 2.5wks. Had 2nd interview and 2wks later they called to tell me I did not make it round 3 of interviews. I feel that they play games during the interview process. I was early for second interview and they were late. The questions I asked felt more like I was interviewing for a used car sales person not an enrollment counselor. I feel the two men interviewing me were not professional between the eye rolls and sighs.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took a day)
They basically wanted me to "sale" the school rather than help students matriculate through the university. I understand the school is for profit, however, the students should always be put first. Coming from a University that was under staffed, I understand the essence of quality staff. Even if I was offered the position, I would have kindly declined.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 1+ week)
Was called by phone and interviewed. After this, was asked to come in for a group interview- a presentation of why I would be best for the position. 3 Min max time allowed. There were about 15 people at this presentation. After, they said they would be calling back those who would move to second interview. I was called. This was a group interview with managers who asked detailed questions about my work experience and how I would handle specific situations. i am currently waiting to hear back as they are doing the background check which can take up to 3 weeks to complete. If selected the training is out of town for 2 weeks with one week in between at the home office.
