I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at George Mason University
Interview
Applied online and called the day the position was closed. Scheduled a phone interview, not clear what they wanted during the conversation. Have a lot of experience but it seems like they knew who they wanted and were just going through the process for a formality. VERY COMMON.
There are always two steps: The phone interview and the in-person interview. The most difficult part is that usually the in-person interview requires a presentation, even for some entry-level positions.
Each department varies in the amount of time it takes to go through the process, but there isn't a ton of red-tape, so it can go very quickly.

Question 1
GMU lives by it's stated values, so stick to those. Also, you're going to want to practice for the presentation--I've seen too many top candidate bomb it and not get an offer.
