I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Verizon in June 2008
Interview
I had a 2 phone interviews. The first one was around things like general customer service, past experience as related to the job, flexibility, availability, personality fit in the company's culture and questions about specific scenarios in my previous job. Then a second interview followed a week later. This had to do with lots of technical stuff and things related to the position I was applying for. It included specific general trouble shooting questions. Finally there was a 1 on 1 face to face interview at the company which centered around most of the things covered during the phone interview plus questions that tested the way you think and how you go about solving problems. Tip: Always stay positive and be consistent with all your answers.

Interview
Very structured and scripted interview done by 2 people.
They take turns asking you questions and they both write down your answers and grade them. Answer all questions thoroughly so that you get as high a score as possible.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Verizon (Providence, RI) in Jan 2017
Interview
Overall Strange interview with little or no direction on what they wanted from me regarding reviewing of a customer service call and role-playing. The two giving the interview were cordial but not very welcoming. They pretty much stayed to the script of the interview process and didn't really dig deeper for more information unless it was ask of them on the scripted interview sheets they used. Arrived 1/2 hour early but was taken right away. Interview took 1 1/2 even though it was only suppose to take 1 hour. Started with listening to recording of customer service call and then asked what I thought about it. Rest of the interview was standard except for the role-play. Without being given any boundaries I was not sure if I was suppose to do everything I could for the customer or conduct myself per Verizon guidelines (which I had no idea what that was - scenario was an irate customer who had their installation rescheduled due to a snow storm but needed internet installation now due to the fact that he was having a football party the next day. He didn't want to listen to any explanation and wanted to speak to a supervisor - being cautious, I passed him off to the supervisor.....and that is how the interview ended.
