I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Charles River Laboratories (Thousand Oaks, CA) in Aug 2012
Interview
Initially had a phone interview to see if my interests matched with what they were looking for. Then I had a meeting at the contract site, where I met the three individuals that would be my superiors on site and had the CRL supervisor conference in on the interview over the phone. The interview lasted roughly 30 minutes.

Interview
Ein Vorstellungsgespräch beginnt meist mit einer kurzen Begrüßung und dem Vorstellen der Gesprächspartner. Danach erklärt der Arbeitgeber den Ablauf und stellt das Unternehmen sowie die ausgeschriebene Stelle vor. Anschließend erzählst du etwas über dich, deinen Werdegang, deine Erfahrungen und warum du dich beworben hast. Daran schließen sich gezielte Fragen zu Fachwissen, Persönlichkeit und Motivation an. Am Ende hast du die Möglichkeit, eigene Fragen zu stellen, und es wird häufig der weitere Ablauf des Bewerbungsprozesses erklärt, bevor man sich verabschiedet
