I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Mortenson (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2009
Interview
Pretty typical. Tell them who you've worked for and what you know how to do. Look around the job-site, see what they are doing and tell them that you know how to do all that - and of course you better know how to do it or you WILL get canned. BS'ers come and go.
