Interview
I handed my resume during a College career fair in April 09, looking for full time employment when I graduated in December. I was added as an "high quality candidate" for entry level consulting during that summer. I was offered an interview in September 2009, before the rest of the candidates. I had 3 25 minute interviews during one day at my college.
Mostly they were typical situational questions, tell me about a time... There was one case study question from a Partner. "Try to figure out how many locations of a particular fast food chain are in the US". To figure out your problem solving skills.
After the interview, I had to fill out some forms a couple weeks later. Regarding personal information, past employment, and living history. Then I was sent an email with the job offer a week later. I was given 1 month to respond.
