I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Verizon (Dallas, TX) in May 2011
Interview
Applied Online and two days later received an email for a phone interview. After the phone interview the HR rep scheduled me for a one on one interview. Thought the interview went good, they had a job fair at the same time. They asked questions like"what phone company do you carry, what phone model do you have,why did you choose that model?" They also asked the same scenario questions like give me an example of an irate customer and how you handled the situation. It has been two weeks since I did that last interview and I am not waiting for a response. On with the next interviews!!

The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Verizon (Wichita, KS) in Sept 2011
Interview
Online application - few days later recieved an email from HR rep to schedule phone interview. Just finished phone interview with HR rep; approx 30 mins. Asked about previous employement, varified dates, and job duties. I tried to explain to him that I didn't include 7 years of past employement and how I wanted to add the other odd-end jobs, especially after reading how thorough aCheck background checks were. He seemed not interested.
Asked about what I understood about Verizon Credo. Understanding of Verizon retail hours - schedule varies, working weeknds and holidays. Why I wanted to work at Verizon? What features about a phone that would be fun for customer? - I talked about the Sypke and texting application my parents are learning to use and how its been exciting for them to stay better in touch with me. What are your short term goals?
Asked what I learned in a previous job that I was able to apply in my present job - I talked about customer service from banking and bartending and how its helpped me in healthcare with patients now.
Salary Customer Support in retail store $27500/$13.50.
I have to say when he asked if I had problems with retail schedule flexblity - I made the mistake of saying how I had to be off by 7p Mon-Wed for my 2nd job. At the end he said he would run this by upper mgmt cause they hire people where Verizon was their primary job and not to leave early for a 2nd job. Maybe if I said it was for classes at college he would have responded differently? Needless I don't anticipate hearing back for a 1:1 interview.

Question 1
Tell me a feature about a phone that you think would be fun?
The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Verizon in Oct 2010
Interview
The process was not a bad one. I had two sets of interviews. 1st for a sales rep which HR called me 45min late and the interview only lasted 15 min. with a form letter to follow 15 min later to say i didn't get the job. I applied again and got a position within the Customer Service side. Now i will say that they were not specific on the interview time. This is something you need to be careful of.
