Interviewed Feb 2010 in Pittsburgh, PA (took a day)
Was asked to interview for a senior position. Checked back with them. They had not made up their mind either about me or about the position. Said they were thinking of downgrading the position to a lower classification and salary. Strange because during the interview they had complained about junior level staff who didn't know what they were doing and quit after a few months.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Pittsburgh, PA (took 2 days)
The interview started with a phone screening about academic and experiential background. Then had a multiple panel interview with key people from across the Student Affair department. Later had a 1-1 interview with a Dean. The people seemed really friendly and seemed very interested in getting to know me. They clearly wanted to hire a qualified candidate but didn't make the interview intimidating.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Pittsburgh, PA (took 2 days)
After the online application, there was a 1:1 interview which was followed by the employer giving me a script. I was supposed to go home, prepare the script and then call him back as a prospective customer four or five days later at a specified time. Based on both the interviews a choice was made to hire or not to hire

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 3 weeks)
Applied online and received e-mail to schedule interview. Only had e-mail contact with the secretary, which I thought seemed a bit strange, so I did make a point of calling the office to confirm. I was given about 5 different dates over a 3 week span to choose from. My first choice wasn't available, so I was stuck with the day before a holiday weekend. Interview was pushed back at the last minute because of a building fire drill. When I got there, everyone had left early for the weekend so it was me and the interviewer which kept me from being able to meet anyone else involved in the decision process. The questions were a little soft: tell me about yourself, what things do you enjoy doing, etc. Never got to go over specific experience, which was odd because my background was a perfect fit for this position. Was told that the timeline was another EIGHT WEEKS! 4 weeks to finish interviews and narrow it down to around 8-10 people, another 4 weeks to hire. Felt like a cattle call at that point.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Pittsburgh, PA (took a day)
I emailed the tutor coordinator and she told me to come in to fill out an application. After I filled out the application we scheduled an interview. In the interview, she checked to make sure my overall GPA was acceptable and that my grades in the classes I was going to tutor were good enough.

Interviewed Nov 2008 (took 2 days)
The interview consisted of a powerpoint presentation of PhD research, lunch with group members, 30 minute slots with current members. Whether the job is offered obviously depends heavily on the professor's impression of the candidate during his/her presentation. I went to the interviewed in a suit.
