I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cox Communications (Rancho Santa Margarita, CA) in May 2015
Interview
I was asked to review my previous experience. The hiring manager asked a few very basic networking questions (OSI network layers, bandwidth on a switch, etc.) and went over the description of the job and the responsibilities. The hiring manger went over that one is hired for a 6 month contract and that the contract is then renewed if your work is good and then at the 1 year mark if your work is good enough there is an option to be hired and made sure that was ok with me.
