I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at NOV (Mineral Wells, TX) in Jun 2012
Interview
I basically told my boss that I wanted the job and laid out why I was qualified. I told him that I had been working at the plant as a quality control inspector for 8 years and that I can do every job in the department better than any of the other people that currently work there. He gave me the job soon after that meeting.
