I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at TD (Toronto, ON) in Aug 2009
Interview
Was referred by a recruiter to an opening for a project role. Interview consisted of 2 rounds. The first was with 3 managers/senior manager, one after the other. The 2nd was with the AVP.

Question 1
Not very difficult as I had industry experience, and layed out all of my experience for them to assure them that I was well qualified for the role. I also took time to research the scope of the project before-hand and discuss my understanding of the project to show that I was informed.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at TD
Interview
Immediately received a call for an interview after submitting my resume. Met with HR, then line manager, then possible colleagues, then the manager's boss, then back to the line manager. Offer came over the phone from HR at a higher salary than the cap on the position. Overall a positive experience. Line manager was very sharp and knew what he was looking for. A good fit

Question 1
Most difficult was that HR didn't understand the line of business I was in and didn't know what kind of questions to ask
