Submitted an application and was called after about two days. Merely confirmed my information over the phone that I had already submitted on the application. Asked me to come for an in person interview. Questions ranged from the general ("how do you handle stress?") to job specific ("what is your experience with copy equipment?"). Overall, an easy interview. I was offered a job on the spot.
