I applied online. I interviewed at Verizon (Harrisburg, PA) in Oct 2014
Interview
I found the job on Indeed.com. I applied through their website. I made a basic one page resume with one job, & my limited college credits. I completed the assessment right away. It took about 1 1/2 hours for my application. I recieved an email to set up a phone interview the next day. I reviewed and took notes on the credo, and my product I was to research which was a mini speaker. I got a call the next morning. The interview was over an hour long. I did a lot of role playing suggestive selling my product and answering questions. I then set up an interview in person. I was told to dress professional and arrive early. I never recieved the enail with the address so I relied on Google which took me to the wrong store. I ended up 5 min late. My interview was role playing again. I had to ask the interviewer about himself and use the data to sell a product. I have no background solid selling or technology experience. I have a very positive, bubbly personality and I made sure to show that. I focused on my retail suggestive selling experience at McDonald's. I got a email saying I was to schedule another phone call because i was chosen as a final candidate. I recieved the call and was told I had the job. I start training in 2 weeks.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Verizon in Sep 2014
Interview
A phone interview came a few days after I was interviewed. I went through two phone interviews with two separate recruiters before I went on my final in-person. It should note that I had to do a Compared to other recruiters, Verizon's recruiting people are some of the nicest people I've encountered (at least in my area). The same goes for the people I was interviewed by during the in-person.
Instead of being interviewed by one person, I was interviewed by two store managers in adjacent cities--taking place behind the office (where none of the customers see). They took turns answering the questions while one of them input them on the screen.

Interview
I applied online, got emailed the next day that said I was selected as a candidate. Cool. They sent pdf's of the job description, a checklist you must fill out and resend to the HR, and then a flyer of their most recent deal of the month. Emailed the info they wanted then was asked to set up a phone interview. Got the phone interview almost a week later. They ask about you work history and if you have ever been on commission, then they ask you what you think of verizon, why you want to work there, what does verizon mean to you? Then you role play using the pdf of the deal of the month. I feel as that was easy and feel I nailed it. Then they ask you again about your work experience, kinda got the feeling they are paranoid that you may be lying about your work experience. They keep asking you about where you worked and the dates and if you are chosen for the next step, can you provide pay stubs of the companies you worked for. At the end of the day they said they would call within the next week for a possible in person interview. They also said i did well with selling the product, which made me feel I had this in the bag. Well I didn't. I emailed the HR and called her office and left a message stating i was still very interested in joining the team. A few days later I got an email saying that i didn't meet the criteria they work looking for. Talk about be led on.

Question 1
Nothing difficult. Simple questions that you should know because they only ask you about yourself. Read the Pdf's they send you and you should be fine.
