I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SAIF in Oct 2008
Interview
There were two interviews. The first was with three supervisors and the second is with three directors. After the first interview, they have you write a sample letter. Upon offer, they also request copies of past reviews from prior employer. I am not sure if the offer would be rescinded if you are unable to provide those.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They will ask for specific examples of how you have handled certain situations. They do not want general answers. At first interview, if you get there early, you can preview the questions.
The interview questions are shared in the chat, which I appreciated. They were mainly questions about customer service and situational (“Tell me about a time when…”). The employees I interviewed with were engaged and genuinely seemed interested in my answers to their questions.

Question 1
When have you gone above and beyond for a customer?
The interview consisted behavioral, STAR Method questions that pertain to the role. I didn’t find any of the questions to be difficult to answer. All of the interviewers were very kind and made me feel comfortable.

Interview
there was a phone interview and then an intense panel interview with different people asking quesitons. there was also a written portion of the interview. the tour of the facility was also actually part of the interview as they asked the tour guide what questions you asked. the process took a long time and there were many people interviewed. it was over a month from the date that i applied online until i was offered the position. after hiring as a trainee, there is an intense training program that culminates in a test for certification. the test must be passed in order to continue on with the company.
