Phone call asked about experience and goals. They were very friendly over the phone did not make me attend for an in-person interview. 3 month commitment minimum. Super easy process not to difficult to be hired if you have a college degree in communications or journalism.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Alpaytac, Inc. (Chicago, IL) in Dec 2012
Interview
I sent an email to the general HR email on the website and was contacted a month later for an in-person interview. Walking in I didn't like the atmosphere. Everyone was working right in front of where I was waiting, and they were gossiping with each other so that I could hear everything. It just seemed unprofessional to me. The interviewers were nice and the position seemed like you would learn a lot if you wanted PR experience. I withdrew my candidacy, however, because the pay was way too low for the hours worked. It was a monthly stipend and you were expected to work full-time hours with some overtime. This was unrealistic especially with the city expenses.

All of the questions were pretty straightforward. We just went over the highlights of my resume.
