I had contacts within this company from many years in the industry. I call, e-mailed, and even showed up at trade-shows to speak with management. They didn't have any availabilities for about 4 years. Received a call from management in February of 2005. A phone interview, a 2nd, followed by a live interview in Buena Park , CA. Normal offer time is 1-2 weeks. Mine was 4 weeks because the hiring manager went into the hospital.
