Not bad. First I was screened by Human Resources for 10 mins over the phone. The HR lady asked me simple questions - salary requirements, why I want to leave my company for comcast, walk me through your resume, etc. Couple days later, she contacted me to set up a phone interview with a manager.
A week later, the manager of the role called me and we spoke on the phone for almost an hour.
What almost threw me off was the manager's interviewing style. He didn't ask me a questions like I expected him to. For example, most managers walk down a checklist when questioning : "tell me a about job a." "Ok, now b." " Now C." One after the other, at a predictable pace, giving you time to focus on one topic at a time.
Instead, he told me to speak about my past five roles at once, giving me free reign to speak about my jobs in a clear and articulate way. He didn't ask questions directly, really... more like just said a statement and expected you to elaborate. " I see you had experience managing people.." (pregnant pause) aka expecting you to speak about that for the next 40 seconds. I'd imagine that if one isn't comfortable with public speaking, they might stumble here.
Introverts and the shy, be ready. Brevity will not help you.
After that, I had to wait two days ( he said a week though) to set up an in person interview with two managers and another analyst.
When I snagged the in person interview for Comcast, I over prepared when it was time to meet with the company. Why? Because I thought I'd be meeting with super executives with eighty degrees and serious prestige. Turns out, these people were just normal, pleasant, chill people.
If the serious and hustle and bustle appearance of the Comcast Center intimidates you, don't worry. There's nothing to be nervous about. I had tougher interviewers at Dairy Queen.
I digress -- the in person interview was about two hours long, with the managers describing the role for about 60 minutes , with me occasionally interjecting with observations and slightly amusing statements to garner chuckles and comfort while showing my personality. The most difficult thing to do on the interview was look alert after the half hour mark of listening. "These people sure can ramble." I thought.
The last hour had the manager walking me through his database that i'd be interacting with when hired. He then gave me his laptop and let me scroll through examples that he set up.
Week later, I was invited to job shadow and meet the team with another guy interviewing for one of the four roles. I put on my best grey suit and went in there confident and ready to take notes.
Another week later, I was offered the position.
One thing I kept noticing though is how concerned they were about hiring people not DEDICATED to the role. Comcast deals with alot of staffing agencies/temp employees, so the turn over rate can be high for certain positions. If you can convince them that youll handle every obstacle thrown your way and is looking for your next "home," you'll win the team over.
That, and be ready to show initiative and interpersonal skills if you're hired. During the interview I learned that many people got canned before me because they were expecting to be lead every day only to be hit with a proverbial brick to the face after the start date.
And finally, yes, I did send a thank you note after the interview. Short, sweet, descriptive, thankful to everyone I interacted with. Good luck.
