I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at American Auction Company (Phoenix, AZ) in Mar 2013
Interview
It was a thorough round of questions. Some were hard to answer. Some were easy to answer. I liked the casual feel of the interview, it made me feel less nervous. The people who interviewed me had a nice sense of humor, overall the whole mood of the interview was light, even from the original phone interview.

I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at American Auction Company (Phoenix, AZ) in May 2011
Interview
Basic interview questions such as, "tell me about yourself" and "tell me about a time when...". The hiring managers are really looking for someone that is willing to be a team player and willing to help take Auction Systems to the next level. Just be yourself and show them that you're willing to have fun!

Interview
The interview started with the "VP of Sales" in their conference room. Normal questions from him regarding my background, sales experience, etc. He likes to think of himself as a hard business guy, so he is pretty direct. Normal interview.
Second interview was with the owner. Very professional, direct, and straight forward. When I left the first interview, I felt pretty confident. When I left the second, I had no idea if I did well or not. Turns out, she loved me, but I had no idea.
Here's the interesting part of the second interview; the owner brings her dog. He is an enormous guy - kind of intimidating, and I'm a guy with dogs, horses, etc. If he for some reason doesn't like you, or you show fear, you will not be hired, period. No joke. I could say more, but I choose not to.
Finally, I followed up frequently with the VP. He likes that. He called me to a bar for the final interview and said it was between me, and one other guy - he was having a hard time deciding. I obviously sold myself to him. I got the job.
Mix in a normal, professional interview with a dog interview, and there you have it!

Question 1
The dog part was kind of strange. I expected it, because they clearly state they are dog friendly when you google them.
