Met with Human Resources and a few other staff members. They discussed the position, asked me a few questions and then opened it up for my questions at the end. Somewhat informative regarding the position. Overall it was a typical interview process for most positions.

Entrevista
There was a phone interview, then there was an in-person interview with two HR people. However, some people got hired as a contractor because they went through an agency. It is better to get hired as an employee. Contractors get laid off faster. I did not get hired at first. Actually, I received an e-mail a week after the interview telling me that I didn't get the job. Nearly two months later, I got a phone call out of the blue asking me if I was still interested. However, this time, the salary was for less because a "mistake" had been made previously. I asked if the salary was still 30K per year (about $16 per hour) as stated in the interview, and they said no. The HR person said "sorry, my mistake". They knew I needed a job, and obviously they were looking for more people at the time by going back to old prospects. I had to accept the lower offer, which was $14.71 per hour. I performed well and received a small raise later, though (just enough to help off-set the new increase in healthcare insurance premiums).

The interview process consisted of two short interviews - one with HR and the other with low-level management. HR had the usual questions - best and worst qualities, a story about a time you resolved conflict at a prior job, etc. The interview with the manager was very short and informal.

Tell us about an achievement in a previous position.
I submitted an application online, received a phone call requesting an in-person interview, and within a week was offered a position which I accepted. The job title was initially unclear, although in training it became evident that we were hired to work in a call center. The questions were generally related to customer service experience and the intention was to confirm that prospective employees can keep their cool and can communicate clearly.

There weren't any particularly surprising questions, and this was one of my first ever "real" interviews.
