I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Verizon
Interview
I was contacted via LinkedIn and we set up a phone interview. It was very informative and helpful. I did not progress beyond that but the job was geographically undesirable, so that was okay. I did get a follow up alerting me that I was no longer in contention, which I thought was very professional and better than being ghosted.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Experience in the field, experience managing staff, willingness to travel
After tons of prep, the interview went nowhere. It would be nice of them to specify in their job listings which positions require you to live in a specific metro area. Surely, in this time when so many are in search of home-based work, applicants from all over the country are applying. It's a waste of the applicant's time and the recruiter's too. Make it plan and put the required location in the job description.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Verizon in Jul 2021
Interview
I applied online and a recruiter reached out within a few hours to set up a phone interview. The scheduling process was automated and very smooth--I received a link to several options for time and date that I was able to choose from. There were four separate interviews (recruiter, hiring manager, the manager's team, and finally the manager's manager), followed by an offer. I ended up turning it down because I had already accepted another job, but everyone I interacted with was nice, and I had no complaints about the process or the terms of the offer itself.
