Recruiter at Verizon Wireless

No Offer – Interviewed in Phoenix, AZ (US) May 2013 – Reviewed May 22, 2013 New

Interview Details Applied online - this took about 2 hours due to their system errors and I'm not even tech-challenged. Was contacted for a phone interview. The interviewer sounded about 16 years old, and the entire call was overly structured and limited. It sounded like a script, and anything outside that was not allowed, such as questions. The boilerplate questions were asked first, the job description was read next, that's it. I'm not sure if it was a job interview or a pre-recorded pitch, there was zero interaction beyond Q&A. About half the questions focused on being able to follow instructions and processes. I didn't hear any typing in the background, so I'm not sure if the conversation was being recorded, or if notes were taken. One of my answers did not fit the expectations, or maybe it was over her head, but she actually repeated the question two more times, maybe she was expecting me to say something else. So after the 2nd time, I just said "I understand the question perfectly, that WAS my answer", and she asked me to repeat the answer again. LOL.

Store Manager at Verizon Wireless

Accepted Offer – Reviewed May 15, 2013 New

Interview Details The interview process took a long time and it was intense. It is 3 rounds. First H.R. will contact you and grill you with an in depth interview. Then you will fly out for a face to face with the D.M. this interview will run the gauntlet of questions. They will try to have it set up like a conversation for two hours to relax you and hopefully they will get real answers out of you. The third interview is with the director. Very tough interview. They are very direct and they have a great vision as to what the position needs.

Interview Question – Why should we choose you over the other applicants?   View Answer

Negotiation Details – They give you an offer right away from H.R. You then have a small window of accepting what they give you are trying to ask for better terms. Usually you take what they give you or they will move on.

Retail Leadership Development Program at Verizon Wireless

Accepted Offer – Reviewed May 21, 2013 New

Interview Details the Hiring process was very long and intensive. I went through about 4 stages of interviews with all different people. The interview with a store manager was a test because you had to go around the store and fill out a questionnaire with what you saw kind of like a scavenger hunt.

Interview Question – One unexpected question was name 5 accessories for the phone... It threw me off guard but you could list a jawbone sound machine as one.   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – They have a set plan for the RLDP candidates which doesn't have much le-way to change.

Entry Level Software Engineer at Verizon Wireless

Declined Offer – Interviewed in Atlanta, GA (US) May 2013 – Reviewed May 13, 2013 New

Interview Details A high level technical interview was given in person and some questions about java were asked. No code was asked to be written and no code was presented during the interview. A few days later HR called me and gave me a 1 hour interview about my background. An example questions: "What is encapsulation?" "What are the data types in Java?"

Interview Question – I was surprised to face a phone interview by the HR department after the in person interview. The HR person asked me a lot of questions like: "Tell me a time when you had to over come a challenge".   Answer Question

Retail Sales Representative at Verizon Wireless

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Mobile, AL (US) – Reviewed May 05, 2013

Interview Details It took 3 in person interviews, and 3 total phone interviews before I was offered the position I applied for. I had to go thru two HR phone interviews first. The second was more involved than the first.

 After passing the second phone interview I had 3 store interviews. Two interviews appeared exactly the same consisting of my previous experience explanation, a techonlogy sales role play, and questions about how I have handled specific customer interactions. The third was similar to the first two in person interviews but more specific to how I would function in a team environment. The second two in person interviews had 2 interviewers, managers at the location. After the third in person interview, I had a short phone follow up interview with a manager from a different store.

Approximately a week after the final phone interview, I received a job offer. The entire process from first phone interview to job offer was about a month.

Interview Question – None of the question were particularly difficult but a novice to the wireless or sales may have a problem completing the role play successfully.   View Answer

Negotiation Details – The salary came thru as a take it or leave it, but was able to choose my start date to a degree.
