I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Hunt Refining Company (Tuscaloosa, AL) in May 2014
Interview
It has recently changed for the lab, so I will describe the new process.
After submitting your resume, you could receive a phone interview from HR followed by an aptitude test. If you score well enough, you could then receive another in person interview with HR and a panel interview in the lab including the manager, trainer, bench chemist, etc.
