The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Verizon (Charleston, SC) in Aug 2011
Interview
Received a call from HR
Hardest one was probably when I was asked to describe my phone... I just have a really basic phone. Still got invited in to take a test. I didn't pass.
It was a pretty straightforward interview process. There were two women who interviewed me. We had some usual small talk and then we started with my resume. We spoke about my past job experiences and how I felt it aligned with the position. We spoke about me as a person, my goals, my skills, my work style, my relationship style. We then did a phone call roleplay, which was pretty straightforward. Customer calling about some issue with the service. Make sure you clarify the problem the customer is having with them and to express empathy for their struggles.
I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Verizon (Newark, NJ) in Jan 2024
Interview
Zoom interview or phone call interview allowed. Were hiring for mid-day to night shift, but were flexible with hours. HR or hiring team is very friendly and understanding, a very easy process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What skills from past job experience will you bring to this job?
Interview was comprehensive and included a computer aptitude test that assessed multitasking ability, processing speed, short term memory, etc. It felt like a video game though and was a little fun. They were interested mainly in my customer service experience.
