I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Cengage (Independence, KY) in Jan 2015

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cengage in Sept 2012
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter and the explained the job and what Cengage was looking for. He then asked about my work history, career goals etc...Not long after that I was contacted by a hiring manager at Cengage. I did standard phone interview with her. At the end of the interview I was given a project to do and turn in a few days later. A few days after I submitted the project, I was called in for a panel interview. About a week later I was asked to come in for a second time, where I sat with an employee, and then was offered the job by the hiring manager.
