Application
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AT&T
Interview
I spoke with a recruiter at a campus career fair and expressed interest in the NETDP program. The lady I spoke with put me in contact with the main recruiter for the program and he had me apply for the position. A little over a month later I was contacted by a hiring manager who wanted to interview me over the phone with her boss the next day. It was a very nice and easy-going interview. They asked me questions related to my resume, and explained their positions and the department I would be working with if hired. I then asked them some questions I had. Overall, it was a very positive experience. We spoke for about 40 minutes and it was very conversational.
