I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Enterprise Mobility (Saint Louis, MO) in Sept 2011
Interview
I applied online and was emailed the next day to schedule a 15 min. phone interview with a recruiter. The phone interview consisted of maybe 7-10 questions; What is an example of a time you gave excellent customer service, an example of when you coordinated a project with a group, have you ever dealt with a bad team member in a group project and how did you deal. They were pretty simple and I believe were set up to gauge phone etiquette and work experience.
The next interview was with HR and they asked similar questions plus some about an example of when I saved a company money or refined a process. One that threw me off was have I ever been put on the spot by a professor and what ended up happening. Also, a lot of questions throughout the whole process of why should you be chosen and why did you chose Enterprise. These questions require a little introspection before going into the interview because it can often be hard to brag about yourself on the spot. Also, if you know nothing about the company explaining why you want to work their can be hard, these to are important questions so do your homework.
Next I had an interview with the team leader in my department who was very nice and easy to talk to. The questions were almost identical to the HR interview which was nice because it gave me the opportunity to refine my responses. If you make it this far it is important to ask questions about the company that will help you for the next interview... NOT just to make you sound interested. For instance ask if the company is expanding or is doing well under the recent economic downturn. Try to understand why the company is doing well through hints from these interviews because this will help you when asked why do you want to work for this company.
The last interview was with the department manager who was also easy to talk to and very smart. Personally, I was very nervous at this point because it felt like I had spent most my week going to interviews and it was starting to take a toll on my nerves wondering if I had made it to the next interview or not. The interview was 1 on 1 but both this interview and the previous one with the team leader were becoming much more job specific. Questions begin to look like; do you know what this job entails? do you have any comparable work or academic experience to what you will be doing here? These questions are where it becomes important to look at the job description and think of ways your past has prepared you for this job.
As always be polite and don't be afraid to have a personality, as long as that personality is professional. If they like you they will hire you. I got a call back the day after the last interview with the department head and was asked to do a background check, but I was not the only person being checked so I wasn't in yet but about 4 days later when everything came back clean I was offered the position.
Good Luck!!!

Question 1
Give an example of a time you were put on the spot by a professor.
It was smooth. Had one round on zoom just asking what I’ve done, and other behavioral questions. Then one in person which was also just behavioral questions but just a lot more questions asked.

I interviewed at Enterprise Mobility (Charlotte, NC)
Interview
The interview process typically begins with an application and resume screening to shortlist candidates based on their qualifications. This is followed by an initial screening interview, usually conducted over the phone or virtually, to assess basic fit, communication skills, and interest in the role. Depending on the position, a technical or skills assessment may be administered to evaluate domain-specific knowledge through online tests or take-home assignments. Candidates who progress further often face one or more rounds of interviews—these may include behavioral interviews to gauge soft skills and cultural fit, technical or panel interviews for in-depth skill evaluation, and a final round with hiring managers to discuss long-term goals and expectations. If selected, the candidate receives a job offer, and may go through reference checks or background verification before onboarding.
