I applied online. I interviewed at FDM Group (Londres, Inglaterra) in May 2013
Interview
Submitted my CV through their website and received a call from them after 5 mins to arrange a time for a telephone interview.
Telephone interview was very basic, just asked me what I knew about FDM and why I applied for this post.
Received an email 2 hours later telling me I'd passed the telephone interview and was invited to their assessment day which I'm still waiting for.

Nothing difficult in the telephone interview part, just do some research about the company and tell them how much you love IT and why.

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at FDM Group (New York, NY) in Sep 2012
Interview
They have interviews every Tuesday when it is hiring season. Video presentation, followed by a written test and 1 on 1 interviews. I would say the interview is more important than the written test, but you need a minimum score to be considered. They usually let you know within a day or two of the interview whether you got the job.

Question 1
A tea kettle is going off, a phone is ringing, and you have a baby with you that is crying. What do you do, in what order?
