The initial phone interview is pretty standard and takes about 45 minutes. A lot of the questions are geared towards presenting scenarios and offering your opinions on leadership and management practices. Once you pass the initial phone interview the second meeting is a very long, extensive process. You begin the day with a simulation in which you put on a head-set and receive phone calls and e-mails. You are expected to listen to the calls and read the e-mails and input information as fast as you can, as you will be timed. The e-mails and calls are designed to come in too fast for you too handle, to see how well you operate under pressure. Afterwards, you also take a typing test. This is followed by a personality assessment similar to the one you should have taken prior to the phone interview. If you pass this step, they will put you on the floor and allow you to shadow another SLP for about an hour. The final step is a role-playing session where you are given 20 minutes to study information in an office alone at a desk with a telephone. At the end of the 20 minutes, the telephone rings and you are expected to answer acting as a professional taking a phone call, and respond according to the information on the packet. This is a long, arduous day but the measures taken during the interview are unique and kind of fun. If you make it past this stage, there is one more phone interview with similar questions, and the final step is a panel interview with the Regional Sales director among others.

Process took 3 days. They called and did a phone screening interview. Explained the program and what I could expect from the process. Asked a lot of basic interview questions about my background. I took and online assessment and then contacted to schedule a second phone interview for the next day. It was more of the same questions and he wrote down the answers. Finally, I went into the office for a role playing type of test. I thought it was a neat experience, but very ineffective to determine the candidates ability to do the job once actually trained. They give you 30 mins to read instructions regarding 10 forms on the table and then give you 5 different scenarios to complete. It is hard because you are trying to learn as you are being tested, which is why I think the process is a poor judge of capability. After running through the scenario they emailed me saying I would not go further. I thought I did well considering learning it only a few minutes ago so don't beat yourself up if you don't pass, I am not quite sure what they are looking for with this method.
