I had sent BNL Technical Services a resume several years before the contact and called them with updates once or twice a year. I was contacted by phone by the Human Resources Manager and asked if I was interested in a 3-week assignment (which eventually ended up as a 3-year assignment). When I replied yes, then a one-to-one in-person interview was set up within the next couple days. The in-person interview went well, and I started my contract assignment the following week.
