I was just out of college, and a random contractor company found my resume on Monster and called me, I didn't even apply for this job. We did the normal 10 minutes of tell me about yourself and go over the resume, and they tell me about the job. That was on Thursday. On Monday I got a phone call saying I got the job. No interview besides that 10 minutes, just a conversation and a resume is all they wanted.weirdly I had a very similar experience on my first job out of university. i applied through the website with a CV and cover letter. then the hiring manager randomly called me and we spoke for 30 minutes. i was walking home by a busy road and it was super windy. but it was just to talk things through informally. i ended up getting the job though which was great.
