I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Altria (University Park, PA) in Jan 2013
Interview
First step is they recruit you based on your Curriculum Vitae. After that they have a phone interview or person interview, depending on availability. for me I had a small personal interview. If they are considering you they will call you withing two days maximum and set a second interview with the District Managers of the region. Once the interview process is done, they ask you about your desires and what you want in a future, basic interview process. tell you about the job position and location and see if they see you fit. Once you finish the interview, in my experience, they called me very soon and offered the job. after that, they verify all your information and a small interview with the HR department and voila! you got the job, is a very easy not nervous process. They are looking for energetic, friendly and hard working professionals.
