I applied through other source. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Empower PR (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2013
Interview
Met with the vice president and the CEO. Got the offer the next day on the phone. The pay was more than I was making elsewhere and I said yes on the phone that day. Easy, breezy.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Empower PR
Interview
A few weeks after I applied I received an email from someone at the company offering an interview. I accepted the date yet never received a confirmation. I went to the interview (on a Saturday at a Starbucks). When he (the owner) arrived he just sat down and stared at me. He didn't ask any questions. So I proceeded to talk about myself and tell him about my experience. He didn't look interested in what I had to say even before I started talking. Very unprofessional. I'm used to employers trying to sell the position. I was experienced, dressed well and well prepared. No excuse to be treated with indifference.
