The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Consolidated Electrical Distributors (Seattle, WA) in July 2011
Interview
Blue collar type work environment. Very friendly people. I went through a recruiter. I personality test was taken before hand. The first interview was 1-1 and consisted of situational and personality questions. It was very easy. If you receive a call back they will set you up for testing. They did tell me that they are looking for a "needle in a haystack".

Interview
Fairly basic, asked questions more about where I see myself in the future instead of previous experience. Problem solving questions at the end that were not applicable to the role. Laid back experience, nice enough guy interviewing me
