I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Fairmont Specialty (Eatontown, NJ) in Jan 2013
Interview
Very comfortable met with a number of staff. You felt part of the group as you entered the door. Everyone was friendly and smiling. Once you went in you waited for about 10 minutes for interviewer to meet you in conference room. The interview was about an hour.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Fairmont Specialty (Honolulu, HI) in Jun 2014
Interview
I was hired through Accountemps, and was taking night classes in the University. My interview was a meeting with the Accounting manager where we discussed my expectations for the position and temporary and long term prospects. I was honest with them and told them I was really only looking for a job to help get me through school. I was willing to stay long term if I changed my mind about my other long term goals, but at the moment I was looking for something temporary. I think it worked in my favor as a couple months into the job the manager indicated that it was cheaper to hire a temp than hire full time employees.
