      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Lumen in May 2010

      Interview

      Interview was conducted by existing area manager and director level. Consisted of a phone interview followed by a live interview. Questions related directly to job functions as well as people management skills. Prepared for interview by studying job qualifications as well as a sample list of possible questions/scenarios that would relate to the specific job. Questioned others performing the same job on matters relating to performance specifications as well as employee benchmarking for performance ratings. Analyzed spreadsheets relating to performance metrics to become more familiar on what was expected from the potential employee.
