Naturally, having heard of the position, I submitted a cover letter and resume. I had two separate interview sessions, each split into multiple meetings with different members of the corporate staff. I was able to meet and pick the brains of my two direct supervisors, as well as the head of HR, and even the President of the company. It was very laid back. One of my interviews was actually on the office casual day, which led to some lighthearted jokes between myself and these (at that time) strangers over my being "overdressed." This has helped to set the tone for the entire time I've been here - it is comfortable. The expectations of the position were made known. As they knew I was coming from a more hectic environment (serving in the restaurant industry), everybody, up to and including the President, made sure I would be comfortable with the repetition of office work. There was consistent email communication throughout the process to let me know each step of the back-end process and the same interview process had been completed with the other applicant, which, to me, showed that the staff here understand my actions were contingent on knowing their process was moving along, and that I needed to know where I stood with them. At the end of the day, I got the position, and I haven't looked back since.
