The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Verizon (Reading, PA) in Jan 2011
Interview
Upon submitting a resume and profile, I received a call and had a phone interview with a recruiter who then scheduled me to meet and interview with the local manager. Local store manager was pleasant and had a good vibe and positive experience thus far. Mostly job description was discussed and compared to my background in similar positions. I was asked back for a third 1:1 interview with a regional manager, who gave off a very intimidating and pompous vibe. Stressed the fact that you must be strong, eager, and insistent and rhetorically questioned whether I would "be able to handle it". Overall meeting/interview ended on a positive-neutral note with no negative feedback or hesitations. Was told I would hear back whether I would be considered or not considered. Never heard anything, or received any email/notice despite my following up with thank you emails and gratitude towards interview opportunities. I also noted that there seemed to be a lack of female representation.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Can you handle it? --In regards to the pressure that his team of salesmen in the next room endure during busy high volume days and low dips in business. (Wasn't sure how else to answer such a blunt/unprofessional inquiry that I felt questioned my capacity as a female in the sales industry)
The process was simple, Apply online and then called for an Interview. I had to follow up and then got called for final interview to discuss next three months and salary.
To the point. I could tell they had a lot of interviewees. Got back to me right away. Asked me standard questions. Salary was sufficient. The interview lasted 20 minutes or so.
Easy phone interview and was hired. It was really more like a conversation than an interview. Very friendly and easy. Seems like they are hiring a lot of people. Would recommend
