I sent in an application online and then had an in-person interview. It was about 15 minutes long and two people took turns asking me questions. They even did a mock Help Desk phone call where they presented a tough problem and asked me how I'd deal with it.

Started with a phone interview. Then, a two-day campus visit which included a teaching demo and a research talk for faculty and students. Also met with the dean, had lunch with students, and got a tour of the campus. Had lunch and dinner with the search committee, and then interviewed with the committee. Got another campus tour, specifically the library this time. Met with human resources as well. It was a friendly and laid-back environment with lots of interactions.
