Wouldn’t you love to have a preview of what kinds of interview questions and selection processes a company you are about to interview at has?
Now, you can find out that kind of information, and so far, it is free!
Just go to www.interviewat.com and find information about what to expect at the interview. My quick look through this website indicated that the focus is on technical interviews, but there may be lots of other information as well.
One applicant even listed specific questions on a written test that he took.
I wonder whether any legal liability could arise from the kind of information that is listed there, as I have heard of companies that required applicants to sign an agreement that they would not reveal the contents of the tests they took to anyone.

Interesting site, though most of it seems hit or miss. I tried looking up two past employers (both Fortune 500 companies) and the pages I got to were totally broken (as in they weren’t displaying correctly) and contained no interview questions. Some of the employers under “most popular” have tons of detailed information, though.
I was at a conference earlier this year and one of the presentations delt with employment test security. The author put up screenshots of various websites that offer not only interview questions, but actual test content. The funniest was one that offered to mail you a bottle of clean urine for drug testing. I doubt most of this is on the up-and-up (at the very least, some of them are violating copyright laws), but it’s out there.

Thanks, Michael.
This would be an interesting legal question:
Could an employer that went to significant expense to develop effective and nondiscriminatory interviewing and hiring procedures protect them as trade secrets?
My educated guess:
Yes, but strict steps to protect secrecy, including applicant confidentiality agreements such as Michael mentions, would be absolutely necessary.
It would be extremely helpful in demonstrating the unique value of the information (to satisfy the definition of trade secret) if the employer could demonstrate that it had paid a lot of money to an expert like Michael to develop a specialized interviewing and hiring program!
