I had worked for years as temporary in the job and had multiple certifications. I also had worked for a manager at Labcorp at another company. I was hired in 2005 (not 2009). My interview was standard. I applied with a paper application. I was screened by a recruiter. I went through the standard company orientation. I worked at a service center for 1 yr. Then transferred to a doctor office and was let go.

I applied to this job around mid-September (~17th) and received a call on Dec. 13 (...3 months later) to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview was more of a screening, so I was asked some simple generic questions like why you wanted to be a phlebotomist and why labcorp, what are your strengths and weaknesses, etc. This was literally 16 minutes but at the end, I asked what were the next steps for candidates who pass the phone interview- aaand I was immediately scheduled for a second interview the next morning. For the in-person interview, I guess they like to shove all interviews in one day so waiting for an available room to interview in made the 'wait' a bit longer. The interview itself was 1:1 and lasted about 20-25 minutes. The questions asked were more technical and situational. Kind of like having a test- like what would you do if a client walked in and was irritated about the services being offered or what qualities would you not like in a boss, or "play-act" your phlebotomy routine. The second interview took place on a Wednesday and I got the phone call of a job offer the following Monday, just before Christmas. Best christmas present ever~
