I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Rio Tinto in Jun 2011
Interview
Phone interview after several months of staying in contact with superintendent at site. Was interviewed by my now supervisors I currently work for. Having to go through Rio Tinto's HR dept was a joke though. Very unorganized, and had to call them several times to see how the hiring process was moving forward.
