I applied online. The process took 10 months. I interviewed at Verizon (Salisbury, MD) in Mar 2012
Interview
First I was contacted by HR to discuss the job and set up an over the phone interview date. Phone interview was about 40 mins. Interviewer asked a serious of questions, mostly about previous sales experience. At the end of the phone interview I was told that it went well and would be contacted with a schedule for testing. Was contacted next day with 3 choices for testing dates/sites. Testing took about 2.5 hours, but was pretty easy. The test included mostly common sense questions, some math and some mock over the phone call center scenarios. Once testing was completed I immediately found out if I passed or failed. I passed! Next is the slower part of the process, waiting for an interview. Because I was coming from out of state, I interviewed with everyone (Director, Manager and 2 Supervisors) on the same day. I had a panel interview and then a more intimate one on one interview with the direct hiring supervisor. The interviews went great. Then the bad news...I get a phone call that Verizon would love to hire me, however, they cannot at the moment because a new hiring freeze has gone into affect. Now the real waiting begins. Days, weeks, then eventually months go by and they still cannot hire me. Finally 8mths later I get the call. Of course I had to decline as I already accepted a position with another company.

Question 1
Why are you willing to start from the bottom with so much management Experience
Very thorough. First there’s a phone screen and then an interview with the hiring manager and a final 3rd interview with a team lead to see if you fit with the squad.

Question 1
Behavioral scenarios. Think of a time you faced an obstacle and overcame it.
Simple and to the point. The focus is on gauging if you’re a good fit for the company. My tip would be to sell yourself and show the hiring manager why you’d be a good fit.
