I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Linde (Des Plaines, IL) in Mar 2012
Interview
I initially worked with a recruiter hired by Linde to recruit for the position. I then interviewed with the manager I worked for. Next, I interviewed with the VP of that business segment. Then I had a group interview with the three regional individuals, the Regional Manager, Sales Manager, and Service Manager. The whole process took a total of 1-1/2 months from first contact to offer. The offer was acceptable.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The most unexpected question was would I relocate to the headquarters in New Jersey. I was VERY clear from the beginning of the process that I was NOT open to relocation, but I was asked the question numerous times throughout the interview process.
