The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sodexo in Feb 2010
Interview
Was asked specific question about the position. Many started with "Describe a time....." putting yourself in certain situations related to the job. I was tested on my knowledge of safety guidelines. I did very well in the interview, I was even asked if I was available to fly out for a 1:1 interview/tour of the facility. I was given specifics about the relocation package offered and salary discusion was initiated by my interviewer. At the end of the call I was confident of a job offer. A week later I was notified that an internal candidate was promoted and that the position was no longer available. I was thanked for my time and that I had all the qualifications of the position, but an internal candidate is almost always chosen if qualified. I was also told that my file would be passed on to other areas, as I did well in all aspects of the process. I was in fact contacted again by the recruiter and I am currently in the process of setting up interviews for other positions at other locations within the company.
