I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Erickson (Central Point, OR)
Interview
I faxed in my resume with cover letter and a letter of recommendation from a former employer to human resources. Within a few days I was called in for an interview with the Director of Materials. The interview was one on one in the director's office. The interview consisted of work background, what was involved with the job I was being hired for and a tour of the department and interdiction of employee's in the department. I was hired on the spot. I filled out paperwork and was drug tested prior to my start date.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Would you be able to handle working for a small company in a job that you are over qualified for after working for a large corporation?
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Erickson (Portland, OR) in Mar 2010
Interview
The 3rd party recruiter I was working with said I was 'perfect' for the job but had to convince the hiring manager to interview me. The guy was nice and we had a good conversation, but he irrationally said I didn't have enough experience, despite meeting or exceeding EVERY single bullet point in the job description. Rumor from some other folks was that he interviewed 25+ people and still hadn't made a hire.
