"When we ask candidates why they want to work for Verizon, I like to hear a robust answer. And I like to see detailed information that shows me they really did their research on the company. Review the materials we send -- including the job description -- and our website’s customer service page before the interview." - Diane Marie Spohn
Diane Marie Spohn, Verizon's talent acquisition specialist in Columbus, Ohio, shares some tips for demonstrating your know-how.
- The details count. Check for spelling, punctuation and grammar to ensure your application and your resume are clean, concise and error-free. The little things do count.
- Practice makes perfect. Feeling anxious about your interview? Then ask a friend or family member to conduct a mock interview with you. This will reduce your anxiety and allow you to concentrate during the real interview.
- Save the fluff for the pillows. Be ready with answers that go beyond “Verizon seems like a great company.” We pay extra attention to candidates who come armed with specifics.
- Interview your interviewer. The best way to show your interest is by asking questions. It will also help you decide whether Verizon is a good fit for you.
