I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TDS Telecommunications (Carlsbad, NM) in Jan 2015
Interview
I'd say it was a standard interview. 30 to 40 minutes. A few questions about work ethics and some technical stuff. Nothing out of the ordinary. Made a point about being available after hours to help if needed even if you aren't on call.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you have any experience with fiber optics? Are you willing to learn more about fiber optic technology?
