I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Canon (Reigate, England) in Jan 2012
Interview
Got phone call from agency to say job suited my experience, got a telephone interview then face to face was arranged. Had to do a maths and English test before the interview which was very straight forward and then got an offer over the phone which I accepted. Interview was friendly and relaxed and had the option to ask any questions I had for them too.
