Interview Details (This applies to Ireland). Be prepared for a long journey! Friendly and polite recruiters seem to be bogged down by some serious red tape. Entry/non-management jobs usually have one interview with the hiring manager (and sometimes a member of their staff, usually a person doing a job similar to what you are applying for) and another with Human Resources. From experience, the HR interview is the second one at appears to be to see if you are a good fit.

Negotiation Details – The company seems to have a fairly strict structure and there doesn't appear to be too much room for negotiation at lower levels in the corporate structure.

Interview Details Got a phone call. Went to the site.

Interview Details The overall process is usually 3 to 6 months. Best way to get hired is to already know someone who works there or be a good customer. The pay is usually pretty good but the pressure can be intense for long periods of time. Average work week was about 60 hours and there was a lot of travel! Typically you will be asked how you feel about travel and working a few extra hours.
