I submitted my application for several vacancies in the accounting department listed on the company website. I did not hear anything for a couple of weeks, but was able to track down a recruiter's e-mail address from a friend. I e-mailed the recruiter inquiring about the status of the vacancies. I never heard anything back from the recruiter directly, but I did receive a phone call from another recruiter a week or two later asking me to come in for an interview.
The interview itself was done via video conference because management was located in a different city, as the accounting department was new to the location I was interviewing at. The interview panel consisted of 2 managers and 2 supervisors. Rather than the interview being specific for one of the vacancies, it was a general interview to see where I might be a good fit. Most questions were about my background, experiences, and my future goals. There was nothing like the typical "strengths and weaknesses" questions.
I was told I would hear back within a few weeks with their decision. When I didn't hear back, I followed up with the recruiter several times. About 6 weeks after my interview, I received a call offering me one of the open positions. I accepted and started 2 and a half weeks later.
My advice to candidates is to follow up! I think that played a part in me being hired!
