I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at James River Coal (Hazard, KY) in May 2009
Interview
The interviewer (I think he was a regional president or VP) was very laid back and welcoming. The interview consisted more of us talking about the company and the state of the industry than anything. I got a preliminary "offer" but was asked to schedule a second interview with his boss to make it official. I declined as I got another offer before then.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Do you have any problem with living in a small mountain town?
