I applied online. I interviewed at The Mosaic Company (Plymouth, MN)
Interview
I called recruiter a month after I applied, as I had not heard anything. It was two months after that that I had an interview with hiring manager and another staff member (formal, structured). I never heard back from the company after my interview, even after followup emails. I heard through an internal contact that they did not fill the position; several months later, it seems they did fill the position.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at The Mosaic Company (Carlsbad, NM) in Mar 2010
Interview
Met the recruiter at a job fair and signed up for an interview for the following day. Since it was at a job fair there were a number of us waiting to interview. When it was my turn to interview I sat across from the interviewer and was subjected to the typical interview questions. We had a short time period, but I still felt like the interviewer didn't know my name when I left. I was told I would be contacted regardless of their decision, but I was not. I understand not telling someone they didn't get the job, but don't promise you will if you aren't planning on it.

What have you accomplished outside of school and work that you are proud of?
I applied through other source. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at The Mosaic Company (Plymouth, MN) in Oct 2010
Interview
Process was very lengthy, from the time I submitted the application to accepting the offer it took 5 months. It took 2 months to get the initial phone interview, then I had 5 in-person interviews for 1 hr each. Those were in the span of 2 months. They are slow in hiring/interviewing so be patient, if you don't hear from them it does not necessarily mean that they are not interested in hiring you.

Question 1
You have done things with much more responsibility than an HR assistant, why would you apply for this position?
