I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at California School Boards Association (West Sacramento, CA)
Interview
There was an initial phone interview with the company after I talked with a recruiter. The phone interview was no longer than 15 minutes or so and I was immediately invited in for an interview the following week. I spoke with the HR specialist who was very nice and personable. When I arrived, the recruiter came out to greet me right on time and she escorted me to the interview area on the 2nd level. What I didn't expect was this to be a group interview. Once we got to the conference room...surprise! 2 other people were there. I felt a bit intimidated and unprepared as it sounded like the interview would be 1x1 with her. There was also a miscommunication because I was told that I was being interviewed for the Marketing Specialist position rather than the Senior Marketing Specialist position. I'd say they asked a lot of the usual questions as well as more in-depth questions about current positions that would potentially relate to this position. When the HR manager said she'd walk me out, I assumed she'd walk me back to the lobby, but she just walked me over to the elevator and abruptly left. I left the interview with mixed feelings and was not selected for a second interview round.

Question 1
What programs did you use to track and manage data and customer info?
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at California School Boards Association (West Sacramento, CA) in Nov 2015
Interview
Very in-depth with 3 people in the panel, all sitting in a conference room. I forget specific questions but they were concerned with job skills and experience that went well beyond my position, such as resolving conflicts, strategic decisions, leadership skills, etc. The job, btw, is 100% formatting word documents.

Question 1
They asked standard questions you'd expect at a professional office generalist interview, mostly about my experience making tough decisions, resolving different opinions, and working in a diverse group of coworkers.
