I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Merrimack, NH) in Apr 2011
Interview
Applied online via fidelity's career site. I was contacted with a 'screening call' with a few weeks. From there we scheduled the next phone interview with a recruiter. The recruiter was very helpful and nice. Make sure you have many 'behavioral question' answers prepared for the phone interview that specifically show your experience working in traditional customer service roles, ie interacting and solving a customers problem who is buying a product from you. Fidelity was a little unable to think outside the box when hearing my answers for those questions so make sure your answers are very traditional. After that, because I lived across the country, I had a phone interview with 2 hiring managers, who asked more leadership and knowledge questions. Typically I guess this interview takes place at their facility, as I was invited to Merrimack for a group presentation, time to meet a current employee in that position, 2 on 1 hiring manager interview and finally a aptitude (watson-glazer) test.
Be sure to be professional and ask good questions during the presentation. I read you needed to know economy figures like unemployment and the S&P, but I was not asked anything about those. It was helpful that I was able to explain things like options during the interview at the facility. During the interviews be, of course, personable and professional. Also be sure that you do not talk to much but answer their questions with precise and quick answers (they are looking for good efficient workers for over the phone)
I was called 2 days after interviewing in person with the good news that I would be getting an official offer the next week.
The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments in Mar 2011
Interview
I was able to set-up an interview through my college career center. Met with 2 ladies who were very friendly. Called for a second interview to meet with branch managers in my area...Fantastic people, great atmosphere, very disappointed I could not accept the offer.

Interview
2 phone interviews, Company introduction/ preview,1 face to face interview with 2 managers, Watson/Glazer test. The next day the HR manager calls back to tell me he has the results. The only results I needed was yes or no on getting the job. I did not need to know the managers opinion of me.
