I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amec Foster Wheeler (Houston, TX) in May 2012
Interview
I had my contact at the company inquire about the need for an intern, sent in a resume, and got set up with the contractor for payroll. My case is obviously a special one, so this review won't provide much insight for cold contacts, but rather shows the importance of networking at this company.
