I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LDS Philanthropies
Application
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at LDS Philanthropies in Jan 2012
Interview
One group interview - they just ask you random questions. The most important part is the mock call. You will do one mock call with the script in front of you, then they will give you tips. LISTEN TO THEIR TIPS. DO WHAT THE TIPS ARE. Then, still with the script, you will do another mock call. I believe that it is this call that they use to really decide if you are Telefund material.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Just get as familiar with the script as possible. Do not stray from it too much.
Fill out application online, get called in for a face-to-face interview, if that goes well they have a "mock call" to see how you handle yourself on the phone. Not a skills test they want to see if you are comfortable, they will train you.

Question 1
At the telefund you will be raising funds for BYU. During the mock call portion of the interview, you participate in a sort of role play asking a fake alumni for a donation. They will say no, and give some excuse.
