Interview
Initial interview with corp recruiter (simple PC competency questions), referred to do testing (IQ, call center situations, typing, tech support skills) immediately received results and was scheduled for interview, returned for 1:1 interview and was simple vanilla interview questions about resume and dates of employment, received a call for a QA interview (final interview) which was basically to answer three questions regarding each company of employment (likes, dislikes, something challenging done) very plain and dry. After which I received an offer via telephone and my acceptance would be given electronically. A 3rd party would conduct my background check. (Note: the 3rd party is very slow on their investigation and could delay your employment, days if not weeks, if not months.) Do not lie or embellish anything on your resume or application, if they find even a date incorrect in their investigation they will immediately resend the job offer. I was warned of this multiple times (which was kinda discouraging... like immediately saying "we don't trust you" but just means they mean business).
