I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Eaton
Interview
At the time, Eaton was bringing on new employees as contractors, and then hiring them as full employees in 8-12 months. A recruiter matched me up with the job opening. The first step was a phone interview, followed by a test of basic electrical knowledge, and then an in-person interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I wasn't expecting questions about electrical principles, since my position did not involve working directly with the products we sell. If you don't have a technical background and aren't interviewing for a technical position, it's probably okay to admit you don't know the answers. That shouldn't be a deal-breaker, but it might be to your benefit to learn a little about electricity and the products Eaton sells before you interview. This may not apply to other areas, I can only speak for myself.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Eaton (Lausana) in Dec 2010
Interview
Les entretiens fonctionnels et le chef du recrutement étaient bien préparés. Leur RH posent des questions comportementales et évaluent l'adaptation à l'organisation. En tout, le processus a duré deux mois, de la sélection téléphonique à l'entretien final. L'entretien consistait en un face-à-face axé sur la compétence fonctionnelle et la clientèle interne. Possibilité de poser des questions relatives à l'organisation, au poste et à la culture de l'entreprise - toutes adressées correctement.

Question 1
Rien d'inattendu. Des questions sur les compétences comportementales, portant naturellement sur les réponses apportées à des situations, mais aussi sur l'apprentissage et l'amélioration provenant de mes expériences.
