I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at AT&T (Atlanta, GA) in June 2009
Interview
Seemed like just to see if I was an idiot or not. Job interviewed for was offered on the phone interview. Job I accepted did not exist and was known to never exist. Seemed like they just needed any warm body to fill slots and were told what ever it took to get the person to accept the position. Everyone hired in the big wave has the same exact story.
