I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Duke University (Durham, NC) in Jan 2008
Interview
Make sure your resume gets thru their giant HR system. If you can get an email to the hiring person directly, do so.
Interview was fine and normal. Had to sell myself to a few of the professors.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typing a writing sample from a professor's handwritten notes that were barely legible and on a topic completely unfamiliar to me.
