With my graduation about 6-7 weeks away (I'm CompE by the way), I applied online and thereafter received an email for interview over HireView. I knew the Hireview Interview was going to be awkward as I had done one earlier in week with NextEra Energy in which I unarguably bombed. So I was a little nervous. Anyways, I needed the job so I put on a clean shirt and tie and took the plunge.
The next day (I think it was either the next day or there about) I received a call and was informed that I was going to be proceeding to the next interview with two IT managers. This time, because I live about 8 hour drive from Minnesota, my interview was scheduled to take place via a webcam. Incidetally I received this call while I was coming out of my final exam so practically I was done with academic work, at least in the mean time, and would be graduating in 4 days. The interview was scheduled to take place two days after the call via a two-way HireView Cam-to-Cam.
The interview was smooth. They interviewers were courteous to the point of shock. I was amazed at their candor and, most importantly, how they guided me through my responses. It was more like a father-son conversation than a corporate interview.
Later in the evening (about 3 hours after my interview) I was called and made an offer. I took it - it was grad gift and the HRs were nice so I decided it's worth the take.
