I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Goodwill (Greendale, WI) in Oct 2015
Interview
After submitting a resume online, I had a 30-minute phone interview with HR. Then I had a 45-minute interview in the building where the job was located, their headquarters for the region. The interview was conducted by the actual manager I would be working for.
The room was a conference room near the reception desk. In other words, I never made it past reception into the actual office space. Nor was I invited to tour the facility or meet potential co-workers.
I was told that the next step after that would be another interview where I would meet with the VP of the department and be asked to analyze some data in Microsoft Excel as a demonstration of skills required for the position. But after 1 week I was told that I was no longer in consideration for the position and so I never got that 2nd interview.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Goodwill (Smyrna, GA) in Jan 2015
Interview
I was directed into a Store where I waited 40 mins in line.Once I was selected the interview was pretty easy. I didn't even care if I got the job or not since I just got hired for another job but I chose this one because there was OT opportunities,

Question 1
Why you want to apply. Have you ever had a bad coworker and how have you handled it.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Goodwill (Sidney, OH) in Sep 2015
Interview
I did a phone interview that was very professional. I drove 150 miles one way for the 1st interview. It was professional except no mention or offer to pay for mileage. A week later a drove another 150 miles one way to interview with the new Engineering Manager. The Recruiter lobbied to get both trips (600 miles) in mileage covered. I was told I was a strong candidate. Two weeks later I was told the new Engineering Manager quit and Norcold was not hiring. Two weeks later I see their postings on the internet. It took me 4 more weeks to get Norcold to pay for any of the 600 miles I drove. They paid $0.276 per mile. I thought that was pretty low since I also took off two full days of contract work at $40/hour ($640). The whole process of not communicating and not hiring and not paying travel expenses was a red flag. I am glad things worked out as they did. I do not think I would have been happy at Norcold. I was impressed by the people but the management and functionality seemed disjointed and disconnected.
