Recruiter will contact you for a thorough interview right away if you have the necessary skills and background. From there a hiring manager will set up multiple interviews with the team to see if you are a fit. Not sure why this process can be delayed up to 3 months or longer but they seem to like having back up candidates hanging on. Definitely not worth your time and I found the process to be discourteous and phony.

Question 1
Multiple sales questions based on the STAR profile and why they should hire you.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Verizon (Miami, FL) in Jan 2010
Interview
I knew people that were already working in this same position, so i was able to get my resume in quick. I met with 2 managers, one was the training manager the other was in charge of sales. We hit off because I have experience in both fields and although it was a 2 vs 1 interview I was able to hold my own. Questions were like: tell me about a time when you... Give me an example of ... And the typical... what is your biggest opportunity... What is biggest strength...
I passed that initial interview so they set up a phone interview with someone from HR. That interview lasted about 40 minutes and the questions were very similar. It also went very well. I suggest that you prepare yourself with notes before you interview on the phone.
3rd interview was again over the phone with the AE sales manager because I decided to go for the sales position. He was a bit more intense this time. He asked me about my experiences when visiting the company stores. Because i already worked full time, i was only able to visit 4 stores, his tone changed and He became a bit irritated and told me that clearly I was not interested in this job at all and that he was not interested in someone that did not have interest in researching the company. It was over just like that. Wow...
So my biggest advice is: try to go to as many company stores as you can, walk inside, ask questions so you have an idea of the differences between them. This will help you for sure.
Funny: I heard that hiring manager is no longer there...

Interview
Pretty Stand interview. Super informative interview about the role and expectations, no smoke and mirrors. Some interesting interview questions which are more personality focused and reflective than performance focused. I had the standard what are your strengths and weakness, but also interesting questions about what do I want people to remember about me
