I was contacted for an interview by email two months after I applied online for the position. I ended up having two interviews in person over the next two months. The people seemed nice and the work sounded interesting. The interview questions were typical and I was prepared to answer them. I was offered the job about two weeks after the second interview. I gave it serious consideration but another job I had interviewed with came through with a higher salary so I accepted it.

I went in for an interview FOUR times. I should have known. I did know, really, but needed a job. The first interview I had with HR. They were disorganized and didn't realize the person I was scheduled to see had been called into a meeting. The second interview went great. I interviewed with the head of PR who said that, though I applied for an editorial position, my resume looked good for Public Relations and he passed me along to the President of the company. The third interview with the President of the company was in some hotel recruitment place which was super sketchy as I hadn't applied for a sales position and had no idea why the President would want to take time out of his day to sit in a crappy hotel lobby for 8 hours. When he asked me if I had been interviewed before I told him this was my THIRD interview and I had already spoken to the head of PR. His response, "Oh, that man no longer works here. He left yesterday." Turns out my 2nd interview was the same day the guy got fired/quit. My fourth interview was with the head of marketing who was taking over PR. He asked me if I would consider marketing instead. I interviewed 4 times for 3 DIFFERENT positions. At this point I had invested so much time I couldn't say no.
