I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ECPI University (Greenville, SC) in Mar 2012
Interview
You will meet with the DOA (Director of Admissions). You will have to take a test on writing,reading, math, and logic. It is explained to you that it is not part of the hiring process, but it is. You will have at least 3-5 interviews before knowing if you are hired. Ask about the schedule and especially working weekends and nights. Ask about blackout months when you are not allowed to schedule vacations and take days off. You must be a good fit to fit in this unusual work culture. This is a sales position with no bonuses . Raises are based on enrollment, but its against the law to pay employees according to number of enrollments if using Financial Aid, so the reviews are based on adapting to their culture, utilizing their resources, and how well you are enrolling students.

Met with SR level person for about an hour, he pawned me off to an admissions advisor to show me around, she seemed uninterested, walked me to the door and I never heard anything from them. Horrible consumer interaction

Question 1
Q: Tell me about a time where you had to handle a difficult situation
There was an initial phone conversation and then I was invited in for an interview. During the call I specifically asked if this was an advisor position because I was interested in helping students create a pathway to their degree. I was initially told that that would be part of the job. During the interview it became apparent that this is essentially a cold call/high volume position to increase enrollment. Very much like telemarketing. No advising involved.
