I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Jumpstart (Pittsburgh, PA) in Oct 2010
Interview
I emailed the representative for the university, she contacted me back and told me to complete the online application in which I did. A few days later I was called in for an in person interview. She was very nice and calming. The interview room was in the individual prep room with had tons of arts and crafts so It lightened the situation a bit. The site managers were fairly young and light hearted.
