I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Newberry Library (Chicago, IL) in Dec 2011
Interview
I met with four or five people from the department, all of whom were incredibly kind and informative. They put me at ease and it really felt like they were trying to bring out the best in my candidacy, rather than grilling me about why I was worthy of the job. I also received a tour of the department. The entire interview lasted about 2 hours.

Question 1
Do you have any questions for us? (just kidding, I can't remember any of the specific questions they asked.)
