Jonathan Rodarte, Verizon's talent acquisition specialist, is always on the lookout for forward-thinkers who want to learn and grow with Verizon.
- Think on your feet. You need to be able to adapt quickly and enthusiastically to this dynamic industry so you can stay on top of new technologies and know what consumers want.
- Address your weaknesses. If you come in with a plan on how you can improve in areas that aren’t your strong suit, that shows us you’re focusing on the path ahead, not looking back.
- Make the most of all opportunities. If you’re a college student, you’ll catch our eye if you volunteered for a service group or fraternity or completed an internship. That shows us you’re a leader who took advantage of opportunities to gain additional experience outside of your regular classes.
- Prepare to learn and grow. You can build a solid career with Verizon and end up in a totally different role than the one you started with. Our career progression opportunities are unparalleled.
