I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at BCD Travel
Interview
Questions about work history and experience related to the travel technology industry. Asked about my previous roles and responsibilities to ensure I was a good fit for the open position.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BCD Travel in Aug 2010
Interview
Very informal, comfortable process. HR communication is somewhat lacking though and could be improved upon. The actual hiring manager(s) tend to be focused but do your homework regarding the position, responsibilities and expectations. Get to know a bit about the company - they are very proud of their history and that they are a private company. They don't strive to the largest Travel Management company, simply the best. They are NOT American Express or Carlson and value relationships and the personal aspect of that.

Question 1
No surprises here - typical interview questions: Tell me about a time when you had to deal with a difficult co-worker etc.
