      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at General Mills in Oct 2010

      Interview

      First contact was via telephone interview with an Asst. Manager. The typical situational questions were asked, but some personal questions seemed to cross the line of professionalism. The phone interview lasted approx. 30 mins. The next contact was via phone, requesting an in-person interview. The interviews were schedule for three potential candidates to be on-site and once the interviews were complete; the three candidates were given a full tour of the facility. The interview(s) consisted of two separate interviews with a panel of two members of management. The standard situational questions (What if, Tell us about a time, and How would you). Truthfully, they were more interested in personality than in the candidates qualifications. (This was relayed to me by one of the hiring managers after I was working here for approx. six months. It is really obvious, once you work here. Nepotism rules.) A letter of rejection was received that was addressed to the wrong candidate, and I contacted a clerk in HR who explained that the letter was intended for someone else. I was hired, but they had to send the correct letter to me. The offer letter arrived, but still had several significant errors. I again called HR, and they corrected the offer letter and sent it. Upon reciept of the correct offer letter, I accepted. Necessity was the only reason why I took the position. It was a stop gap position, and it provided what I needed for that time.
