Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
The interviewer was very serious and upfront. The questions asked needed some prior research and thought. Basic questions like strengths and weaknesses were asked after which more specific skill based questions were asked.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Thousand Oaks, CA (took 2 weeks)
I applied for a couple of positions, including Customer Service Representative and Administrative Assistant. I meet all the qualifications for both positions, although the CSR position did not pay as much as I would have liked, it is better than most at $14.00 an hour to start. I applied online. During the online application I was directed to a test site to take a sort of general customer service test - it asked questions like how when is it ok to bend the rules (never), what would you do if another employee was stealing from the company (report it) and how would you handle an angry customer (offer all accomodations the company policy allows, and if customer still not satisfied, refer them to my supervisor). Apparently these were the correct answers because I received an email within 2 days asking me to pick a time for a telephone interview. A couple of days later I took the telephone interview - I was asked questions about my work experience and skills (data entry, handling telephone calls, MS Offfice programs). The interviewer seemed enthusiastic and set up an in-person interview for the next week.
The in-person interview consisted of 2 people in a conference room. They were polite, but did not seem as enthusiastic as they were on the telephone. I got the impression they were expecting someone younger, however my experience should have made my age (over 50) pretty obvious. (On the advise of my current employment agency, I have cut the first 15 years of my work history from my resume). They asked me most of the same questions I was asked over the telephone, the gave me a short written test similar to the one I took online and thanked me for coming. They did not ask if I had any questions or bother to tell me much about the position. I think they pretty much made up their minds as soon as they met me. About a month later I got a rejection e-mail.
A few weeks later I signed with a local employment agency, they were trying to fill the same position at Wellpoint and said they were going to submit my information - they also thought my skills were exactly what Wellpoint was looking for - but I was again rejected.
My background is clean & my previous employer says that she has responded positively to all imquiries. Overall, I thought the interview process was easy, but it may be that I was given a "cursory" version. I thought I was pretty nice, but maybe they just did not like me.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
Technically I didn't really have an interview. I was working as an intern for a month and applied for the position. I guess they like me and decided to hire me after seeing the work I was doing. So for the interview process was really a month long of trying to learn as much as I could.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Indianapolis, IN (took 3 days)
I was contacted by a mutual friend that worked there about a job offer. I didn't take the job because the pay was not as much as I was already making at a different place. Plus the benefits package was not as good as where I was working at the time.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 2+ weeks)
Recruiter was really terrific - communicated well and understood the position thoroughly. Phone interviews with Director and other managers on her team went really well. Very knowledgeable, professional and friendly folks. The Director was very professional yet personable and interviews were more like meetings/discussions. It came down to me and one other person and they chose the other person who had slightly more experience in their area than I did. Would have loved to get the job. But the recruiter was very grateful and emailed me to thank me very much for participating and said she hopes that the process went well and that I'd be open to future opportunities. Definitely will be. Rating the interview as "difficult" because we had some intense discussions. However, it really didn't feel difficult because the people involved made the process easy.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
I had a phone interview, had prepared for it extensively and was looking forward to it. It started out good, even though the interviewer spoke in a monotone. She went over the basics of the job, she was not sure of the exact training process, and then told me what the salary was, which was much lower than what I had been making. However, I tried to keep an open mind. I asked her if she could tell me a little more about the job---- she interrupted me and said that she would asking the questions and would not be giving me any more information. I ended the interview at that point. She was stammering as I hung up on her.

Interviewed Apr 2010 (took 6 months)
I did not get a call back from my application for six months. Once I was notified by the team admin, I was scheduled for an interview with my manager for the following week. I interviewed with the manager and a team leader. Everyone was dressed casually. It was spring/summer, so capri pants, casual top, and sandals. Most questions they had were read directly off of a worksheet they were filling out. They really stressed ability to manage computer programs and work in multiple windows at the same time. Honestly, my manager did a lot of talking and finishing my sentences.
