I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Southern California Edison (Rosemead, CA) in Nov 2009
Interview
Interview with 2 managers. Overall wasn't too difficult since the managers seemed friendly and weren't poker-faced. Asked standard questions about my background, if I had any experience with contracts and contracts. Also asked behavioral questions about what I would do if I had to work with a difficult client or co-worker and about specific examples working with Access.

Question 1
Name a specific time you had to deal with a difficult client. How did you handle it.
The interviews process was very structured. I receivedan email saying they received your resume. They scheduled an interview with me. The questions were the routine, how do you know the journal entries are accurate? Once they thought im not their ideal candidate, they sent me an email saying they found someone with qualities, closer to what they are looking for. They also tested me for excel knowledge i.e. Pivot table and vlookup.

Question 1
When working as a team, what was the most difficult thing you experienced?
Brief phone interview then in person interview. Met with two managers who would be part of the team. Went through a bunch of canned interview questions, which is standard for Edison. Not too difficult of an interview.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Southern California Edison (Rosemead, CA) in Jul 2010
