Submitted a resume at a college job fair, received an e-mail to set up a phone interview ~5 months afterward. Phone interview asked typical questions (why vanguard, what is mutual fund/index fund/ETF, how do you keep up with financial news). Interviewer was very nice and understanding of when I was unsure of the answer to a technical question. Recommended me to check out about.vanguard.com in preparation for the in-person interview.

Interview
The interview was a two step process, the phone screen was about 15 mins and they were mainly looking for clarity of your voice and if you are articulate. The virtual 1-on-1 interview was fairly easy, about 6 STAR-based questions regarding customer service, communication skills, and learning agility.
