I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Octapharma Plasma (Detroit, MI) in Apr 2015
Interview
Got a call back months after application. Most apply for Medical Screener but get assigned to to other positions. Be firm and don't except this, Medical Screener is the most ideal and is the most favored area by management.
Interview is simple and usually there is only one. There is a drug test prior to offer. There is minor room for advancement but not much. Keep in mind this is a high stress, high turnover industry. However it is a source of income and it is a medically related job. They also provide tours of the facility and everyone gets one, so it's not always a sure sign of an offer.

I applied online. I interviewed at Octapharma Plasma
Interview
The interview process was very straightforward. I came prepared to answer the usual questions, but the center director formatted the interview as more of a conversation. Definitely be prepared to talk about yourself, your aspirations, and your expectations. Most of the interview after I shared this was me asking questions - something I was very grateful for, as I value having all the details. If you excel in professional communication, this will not be a difficult interview for you, but definitely don't forget to do your research about the company and the position!
