After I sent in my resume, I got an email to come in for an interview. The interview itself felt pretty good. They told me I'd get a personality test after, which I did. Then a few days later, they called and asked about my start date.

It went as expected. After a friend who knows the hiring manager referred me, we first talked on the phone. Then, I had an in-person interview where we discussed my background and experiences. After that, I met with and interviewed a current employee, and we talked about typical personality questions.

I saw an ad and applied through the job service center. I got a phone call for a one-hour interview. Then, I took a written test to check my accounting and IT skills. The interview was with the customer support supervisor and the company president. They asked common questions like why I want to work there, my strengths and weaknesses, what I've done to get ready for the role, and how to deal with angry customers. After that, I sat with a customer support person and listened to some calls for about an hour.
