I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at The Local Group (Valley View, OH) in Mar 2015
Interview
The administrator had contacted me in regards to the resume I had submitted to them and said that the HR manager had asked her to contact me and verify a few things with me. She asked if I was looking for full time, if the location was okay, and asked me some qualifying questions. She then scheduled me to meet with the HR manager. When I walked in, I was ushered into the manager's office and we sat down for about 10 to 15 minutes. He asked about my previous work experience and what kind of work I was looking for. After meeting with me, he said that he or his assistant would call me to let me know if I would be offered back for a second round interview to shadow someone.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at The Local Group (Independence, OH) in Jul 2014
Interview
First, you're asked to come in for a 5 minute interview, then you're asked to come back for a "ride along".
In the first "interview" they just look to see if you have persuasive skills, and try to sell you on their company.
In the "ride along" they attempt to convince you that you belong there and give you an ego boost.
