It's not always quick and easy to get hired. The job interview process can be lengthy. Being interviewed once and getting a job offer is typically a thing of the past. Today, many companies have an involved interview process starting with screening interviews, which often take place on the phone, followed by in-person interviews, second interviews, and even third interviews.

Interview
I had 7 hours of interviews over 4 stages spread over 12 weeks. I was contacted within the a week of submitting my application for screening questions and to arrange the first interview.
