Initial contact with HR rep at a job fair, 9 months before interview phase. I missed the job fair round and got in on the next round of hiring. Was telephone interviewed by HR person with standard questions on experience, team spirit, my best and worst experiences. For worst (Again, standard) how did you learn from that experience? Another q: Name a specific example of how you positively affected in a previous job. Then was called in for an interview with the hiring director. It was extremely easy going. I think they only contact the ones they want to hire. He was really easy. He wanted to have a conversation about state of the art, how good I was (his words) and the good old days in his career.
