Behavioral Technical Other
They scheduled the interview less than 24 hours after I applied. First, I had to fill out a paper application that basically asked for the same info as my resume, and I had to dig up references from my phone. After that, I interviewed with an HR person. That, and the other two interviews I had there, went fine. Since there were two jobs open, I talked to the managers of both departments. They all seemed nice, but the whole thing took about an hour and a half during the workday.

quick process. HR calls you for a phone interview, asking simple, polite, easy questions. Then they'll invite you in to meet with the terminal manager. It's straight to the point, no nonsense. They need you to fill the spot until you get fed up and quit.
