I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Verizon (Columbus, OH) in Feb 2009
Interview
First you have to get you r resume to the right person, then you are called by HR. They have a brief phone interview, if they like you they ask you to come in and interview with the hiring manager. From there you have to prove yourself that you belong working for them, if not you done.
