I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Consolidated Electrical Distributors (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2011
Interview
The interview process for this company was quite easy and simple. I used a staffing agency to get their attention. I was called quickly to set-up a 1 on 1 interview. I interviewed with a profit center manager. He applied to be very nice and the environment of the office was busy. My interview with the profit center manager lasted about an hour. With this company, you are supposed to say that you want to move on to the next level to be taken seriously. After my successful first interview, we set-up a time to do the personality test and IQ test. These IQ test are just like its SAT all over again. The test was mostly arithmetic, word problems, and spatial skills. You are timed on both IQ tests. After the IQ test, you are given a tour of a profit center and given time to talk to one trainee who is going through the process at some level. After the conversation, I took 2 personality tests. After that I was allowed to leave, it took about a week to get the results back.

I interviewed at Consolidated Electrical Distributors (Iowa City, IA)
Interview
Fairly basic, asked questions more about where I see myself in the future instead of previous experience. Problem solving questions at the end that were not applicable to the role. Laid back experience, nice enough guy interviewing me
