First, I applied online. Then I went to a recruiting presentation and listened to a senior vice president speak about the company. Next, was called for an interview. Arrived at the interview and was interviewed by the hiring manager, president of the company and a senior vp with whom I would work if hired. I was hired on spot, however; this is not common from what I am told. Usually, prospective hires are given time to think over the commitment needed for this type of job.
