Easy interview
Application
The process took 5 days. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr in Jul 2010
Interview
To be completely frank that was perhaps the easiest phone interview I have ever had. First of all, I received a rather generic letter from an HR recruit requesting to speak with me. After trying to research the company and fully prepare for the interview I was given a call the HR rep who simply asked me two questions: Why are you currently looking for a job? And can you please go over your resume for me starting with your education and your previous work experience. Then in very broad manner she explained the position and simply closed with 'I will be contacting you in a couple of days to let you know if we would like to conduct an on-site interview.' So we will see what happens...
The recruiter called me and asked me general questions about my style and related management experience. She told me a little more about the position. The general management role involves working on business processes, projects, etc. I never heard back from the recruiter after the initial phone call.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr
Interview
A recruiter from McMaster-Carr contacted me and set up a phone interview. Even though I had sent my resume directly to the recruiter, she started the interview by asking whether I had sent my resume and then attempting to find it in her inbox. The disorganization was off-putting. The interview itself was pretty straightforward, with a resume walkthrough and some follow-up questions.
