I dropped my resume at a career fair and filled out a quick survey about what field I was interested in. Then, I got a phone call asking me to come in for an interview. When I went in, I took a short skills test, which was mostly easy computer and grammar stuff. After that, I interviewed with two managers, each for a separate 30-minute interview. The whole thing took about 2-3 hours. The managers were nice and seemed really interested in technical backgrounds. I got a call the next day with an offer.
