Sales Representative at Verizon
Accepted Offer – Reviewed May 11, 2013 New
Interview Details They gave two telephone interviews with general questions. It was pretty standard qustions about sales. The recruiter was very nice and seems to want to help people get the job. The recruiter said there would be three interviews up front so you would know what to expect. The offer seemed to come pretty fast as oppose to waiting around for weeks. They gave the decision within two days.
Interview Question – Whether you would help a customer with a problem or make a new sale. I am not sure if this twas a trick question or not. View Answer
Negotiation Details – No negotiation. HR basically gave salary range and that was it. They did quote a "total" compensation with bonus.

Interview Details
I have interviewed with VZ several times throughout my career. All were internal, but they use the same process. They use the situational experience interview method. It is 6 questions and they will usually start like: "tell me about a time when...." "how have you used your experience to deal with ...." "How would you manage a situation that...."
Really what they are looking for is someone that can analyze the situation and apply their life experiences to develop a clear answer. They are big on experiences here.
Interview Question – How would you recognize critical milestones for this project? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I was not able to negotiate, as I was at the top of the salary scale coming into the position.
