Had about 9 one-on-one interviews. The lunch interview was with the Hiring Manager. All were professional management questions. None in any of the interviews were related to PM methodology or any technology.

Question 1
None really. If you have experience and understanding of PM processes, it easy to crack this interview.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Cummins (Nashville, TN) in Feb 2011
Interview
I was contacted by an agency who set up the call with Cummins. The agency did no vetting other than reading my resume. They set up a call with Cummins, and then called me one other time to confirm the date and time. Other than that I didn't hear from them again until the process was over.
The process was composed of a single conference call with a handful of participants who asked me various questions about the kinds of projects I've handled and what my management style was like. It was a very "normal" interview with little deviation from the kinds of questions you encounter in every other interview.
I didn't hear anything back again for 3 months; then I was contacted and offered the position.
