Fiber-To-The-Premise- Intern experience

2010-10-13T12:57:00.000-07:00

I started my Verizon career as an intern in Strategic Sourcing on a project called “Fiber-To-The-Premise." This project is what we all know now as our award winning FiOS broadband and entertainment service today. As a college kid at the time, I was working on a multi-billion dollar national deployment, something really really big!

Now, I’m currently a 2nd level manager in Strategic Sourcing. My role gives me the extraordinary opportunity to work closely with cross functional teams across a diverse set of departments to select top quality products, while delivering savings that positively impact the company's bottom line. The savings are reinvested into the network so that Verizon can offer the most reliable network that we all stand behind.

I've been fortunate to work on some really cool and strategic business deals that are essential to deploying new products and services. To play an important part in delivering something this compelling is rewarding in itself. I’ll never forget watching a TV ad for FiOS for the first time and saying to myself, “I started working on that last year and actually negotiated that contract to help build FiOS!”
Verizon has given me the tools to better myself and succeed in my career. Having colleagues as great as mine makes every day much more rewarding, and I look forward to continuing my career here. Every day presents itself with great new challenges. It takes great people and teamwork to succeed in our competitive economy successfully. We are working extremely hard to deliver new services that we hope you can be excited about, and I hope that you will be more excited with all that we deliver.

Hi, my name is Tom Boudrow, and I work in the Verizon Center for Customers with Disabilities (VCCD). I myself am Deaf, so working with the disabled community holds a place close to my heart. Prior to coming to the VCCD, I worked as the executive director of the state association for the Deaf in Massachusetts. I had a long term contract with Verizon operating a specialized equipment program, and when I later came to the VCCD I was one of the people responsible for overseeing the program I once worked under as a contractor with the state association.

Since coming to the VCCD, I have had the opportunity to educate/advocate for many accessibility improvements for our customers. One that stands out is the creation of the videophone gate, which permits Deaf customers to call using a videophone where they actually see who they are speaking to, and use American Sign Language (ASL) to communicate. This allows ASL users to communicate in their first language with which they are most comfortable. It also created job opportunities for people who are Deaf at Verizon.

Verizon was recognized on a national level by deaf service agencies, and received awards for this ground breaking endeavor which was the first of its kind. I was recognized and received the “2009 employee of the year” award by “Careers and the Disabled” magazine. Verizon continues to give me the opportunity to reach out and improve access as well as create partnerships with different disability communities. I am currently working with the Talking Information Center (TIC), a radio station for individuals who are blind. TIC reaches out to 20k people in Massachusetts alone, and many more in other states. As a result of this collaboration, TIC has recently started running public service announcements about the services the VCCD brings to people with disabilities. They agreed to do this because they believe in the importance of getting information about the VCCD services out to their listeners in order to make the experience of calling Verizon an easy and comfortable one.
With technology rapidly changing we need to stay alert and be sure people with disabilities are able to have the same access as everyone else. I have conducted many disability sensitivity classes and always explain what I believe to be the definition of disability. I state that a disability is when the person and the environment don’t match, so our job is to make it match. As the best team in telecommunications we CAN make it happen.

Anyone wishing to learn more about people with disabilities should reach out to the Verizon ERG called Disability Issue Awareness Leaders (DIAL). Also, you would like more information on the services the VCCD offers please email us at VCCD@Verizon.com.

Our intern's communication

2010-09-17T14:23:00.000-07:00

Elevator Speech

Hello everyone.

My name is Jose Chavira. I am an intern in the FTTP (fiber to the premises) Operation Center in Redlands, CA. I received my B.A. in Psychology from the University of California, Riverside and recently completed my first year in the MBA program at University of California, Riverside. I feel that my social science background and business knowledge allow me to approach a situation from different angles, using quantitative and qualitative methods, as not everything is black and white.
One of my main projects has been closing 8P work orders, which are work orders requested by individual customers and/or businesses. Though a work order may be physically complete in the field by construction, it may not be complete in our records. I would close work orders by requesting documentation from various engineering departments and send them to reimbursable engineers. These work orders vary in amounts- some may be worth $500; the current work order I am trying to close is worth over $95,000. Accompanied with this task is populating dates in various systems.
Another project involved researching fiber cable that cannot be accounted for. This cable is classified as VT02. The total worth of cable I researched was worth $200,000. I would like to thank everyone for the opportunity and to my fellow interns, I hope you all are enjoying your internship as much as I am.

Thank you.

Employee giveaways -Free Droids!!

2010-08-17T13:21:00.000-07:00

Whoa! Did you see that?! That was the 50th Motorola Droid X smartphone given away today and the phone has not even been released yet! It’s days like these that I look forward to coming to work even more. Typically when there is a high profile smartphone to be launched by Verizon, the manufacturer has a street team in the Basking Ridge office with contests to win the phone. So far there have been giveaways for the Blackberry Storm, Motorola Droid, and the Droid X. What better way to generate excitement over a new device than giving employees a chance to win one? The lines form early as it seems everyone on campus is exuding eagerness for an opportunity to win. Best of all, we have a chance to show off the devices before the general public can get them. I love being a tech geek at Verizon!

Verizon Employee Experience

2010-07-02T09:45:00.000-07:00

My name is Dan Sapir. I began working at Verizon three years ago in our retail marketing organization.

A year ago I transferred over to Verizon's Global Wholesale organization in a sales role with the goal of expanding my understanding of the industry. It wasn't until I began actively selling that I realized how limited my exposure was in the retail world. Through my retail call center experience and my time in advertising, I gained a generally understanding of our FiOS product line as well as our Copper products.

When I transferred to Wholesale I realized that was just the tip of the iceberg. The Wholesale arena is truly a great place to learn the business. On the Global Wholesale website (http://verizon.com/wholesale/), Verizon Global Wholesale is described as, "a technologically advanced organization --serving Long Distance, Local, Internet and Wireless Providers with reliability and choice on an award winning network." We exist to help other companies fill gaps in their product offerings so that the companies we partner with can fulfill the needs of their end users in a more efficient and complete manner.

One of the more exciting partnerships I am working on is our partnership with CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) through our recently launched Partner Port Program. The Verizon Partner Port Program is a great solution for Content Delivery Network service providers to aid content owners in delivery of their content to the Internet. The program encourages a direct connection between CDN's content servers and the Verizon IP network at key Internet Exchange Points avoiding the need for traffic to travel through various carriers' backbone networks. The result is a more efficient transfer from content owner to the end user. This partnership is a true win for Verizon's end users and content owners alike at a time when consumers have an increased demand for quality paired with an increased interest in high bandwidth media.

With such a diverse product offering, the Global Wholesale organization allows its members to work directly with companies to solve the needs of their end users. The knowledge I have gained in this organization has served as a crucial building block in my development as a telecom professional.

Best Regards,

Dan Sapir

New Year Professional Resolutions

2010-01-18T09:37:00.000-08:00

Most of us come up with many resolutions that we want to accomplish by the end of the year. These could be personal goals from losing weight, having better relationships, traveling, etc. But what about professional resolutions, those that will pay our bills, and will allow us to have the life we deserve. Here are some tips that will help you accomplish and plan your career accordingly.

1. Technology is essential: take a couple of courses that will help you achieve higher technical skills (i.e., Boolean search, online research, software skills). In this global economy, the prerequisite of obtaining fast information is necessary. This can be done in colleges/universities, tech schools, and even some community classes are available.
2. Join a network activity: being able to obtain and share information with other professionals who are already working in the field of your interest will help you understand the career that interests you the most.
3. Learn something new: there is always an opportunity to learn something interesting for your career needs. For example; learning another language will not be a bad idea since businesses nowadays require you to deal with clients from around the globe.
4. Clean emails and update contacts information: start a new year by emptying your inbox mail and save the contacts that you will need in the future. This will help you organize your contacts so you can build the right relationships. Sometimes you just never know when a contact will come in handy, so organizing contacts in a folder and adding notes to them are essential.

And finally don’t forget to have fun and enjoy every activity. After all, you already have a plan and a map heading you in the right direction. Let’s take some time for ourselves to evaluate our career resolutions. Are there any resolutions that you would like to share with us??....

Thanks

ATTITUDE

2009-12-11T07:19:00.000-08:00

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures; than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company….a church….a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past….we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude….I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you….We are in charge of our Attitudes.”

Choose what your attitude will be for the day each morning before getting out of bed. If you are job hunting, make sure your attitude is ready for everything you may face, i.e. rejection, failure, acknowledgement, acceptance. Decide before you step out of bed how your attitude will help you make it through the day and continue to move forward with self-confidence. It may take days, weeks, months, but if your attitude is positive, you will succeed!!

A New Year Is Dawning: Time to “Bring It”!

2009-11-13T08:06:00.000-08:00

As the New Year rapidly approaches, and the season transforms from fall to winter it is important to remember changes that happen within our lives over the course of a year. Money, homes, time, people, and even careers come and go as we progress through this thing called life, but that is no reason to panic. This is normal, and the end of the year is the time when we should all be taking time to examine, and evaluate the path that our lives have taken this past year.
Take time to enjoy the seasons in your life while they are here, but do not forget to plan for what is to come. Change is inevitable, but this does not mean you can’t control your own destiny. Take time to relax and enjoy the holidays, but also make sure that you are aware and prepared for any new opportunities that the New Year may bring:
1. Take time to evaluate yourself, and changes you have made this year.
2. Research and organize your career options.
3. Open yourself to new ideas and new opportunities.
This year is coming to a close, but the future is bright. Live in the moment, and be ready for any opportunities that may come your way. Before you know it the seasons may change right before your eyes.

Some words of wisdom to live by…..and who knows, may just lead to your future career path

2009-11-06T11:13:00.000-08:00

1. Focus on achievement—not money. Pay attention to how your successes, on and off the job, benefit both you and others. That doesn’t mean you can’t or won’t make money, but the pursuit of money ought to play a subordinate role.

2. Make time for thinking. Break from the daily grind and reflect on where you are and where you’re going. Take a walk, practice yoga or meditation, or sit in nature.

3. Practice “systematic abandonment.” “People are effective because they say no…because they say this isn’t for me,” declared Drucker. Step back, at regular intervals, to determine which of your present activities can be scaled back or eliminated. Only then can you make way for something more fruitful.

4. Learn the art of leisure. As important as work is, avoid allowing it to be your only source of fulfillment. Find an outside interest or two, focusing on things that may bring you pleasure, satisfaction and a heightened sense of self-worth.

5. Develop a parallel career. A parallel career, like teaching, writing or working in the nonprofit sector, can give you a window into other worlds and provide leadership opportunities not available in your primary job. And one day, it may even morph into your second or post-retirement career.

6. Volunteer your time and talent. Drucker saw volunteerism as essential to the smooth functioning of society, as well as a satisfying way of ensuring that work doesn’t consume your life.

7. Become a mentor. Mentorship may be broader than just showing someone the ropes in a group or organization. It can include wide-ranging career and life advice, and provide big benefits to both the mentee and mentor.

8. Start teaching. A Drucker maxim: No one learns as much as the person who must teach his subject. Consider the kinds of opportunities that may be open to you at work, schools, churches and professional associations.

9. Learn how to learn. Some people are readers while others like to talk and listen. When it’s crucial to learn something, think about how you learn best and seek out those types of opportunities.

10. Be the CEO of your own life. Take accountability for your decisions and contribute at work and in the world.

“Living in More Than One World: How Peter Drucker’s Wisdom Can Inspire and Transform Your Life.”

Following these steps, may just put you on the right career path for YOU!! It is good to sometimes step back and re-assess where you are and where you want to be.

What would you consider the best strategy for a career advancement opportunity?

2009-10-02T10:23:00.000-07:00

The answer seems to be in between networking and building you reputation. There are many writers, bloggers, authors, editors and other sources of communicators that spend a large amount of time analyzing and comparing what seems to work for top paid executives. Indeed, at some point in our lives we all like to be in their shoes, so we start wondering what we can do in order to reach some of those goals. Thankfully, we could do research and find all these great sources of information. As a result, we start looking for strategies in career advancement opportunities, and many of these strategies seem to be repetitive throughout all the information presented. For instance, a combination of these strategies is as followed:

Talk to your boss
Ask for more responsibility
Volunteer for boards
Sharpen your people skills
Be innovative
Find a mentor
Sell yourself
Keep learning
Network
Build your reputation

By now, at least most of us have read this information about career development planning. However, there seems to be a lot more going on behind successful individuals. Perhaps the whole notion about career advancement is to be able to discover your own talents and make the best out it. There are a lot of professions to choose from, and incredible opportunities that seem so irresistible. But the challenge here is to discover our own talents and be able to put them into practice. At this point, we are aware that there is no formula for career advancement. Certainly, strategies can be helpful while we are delivering real results. But in the end, there is a tunnel which all of us travel in our lifetime that is full of discoveries and developments. Therefore, it is important to put into perspective our own personal plans and understand where we could like to be in one year, two years, and at our retirement age. Currently, many ideas and discoveries are being considered for career development. Have you analyzed your career development plan, and if so, what is your path to reach your destination?

Best wishes to your success!

Did you know?

2009-09-16T12:41:00.000-07:00

The top 10 in-demand jobs in 2010 did not exist in 2004?

We are currently preparing students for jobs that don’t exist yet using technologies that haven’t been invented in order to solve problems?

The #1 ranked country in Broadband Internet Penetration is Bermuda? The US is # 19 and Japan is # 22.

31 billion searches are conducted on Google every month. In 2007 it was 2.7 billion.

The first commercial text message was sent in December of 1992. Today the number of text messages sent exceeds the total population of the planet.

It is estimated that a week’s worth of the New York Times contains more information that a person was likely to come across in a lifetime in the 18th century.

Years to meet the market audience of 50 million:

Radio – 38 years

TV—13 years

Internet – 4 years

IPod—3 years

Facebook – 2 years

Technology and information is changing incredibly fast and so are jobs. It’s important that you challenge yourself and update your skills and knowledge to meet the demands of the future job market. By acquiring new skills, you make yourself more marketable to companies seeking the technically savvy candidates.

HOW’S THAT RESUME LOOKING THESE DAYS?

2009-09-08T08:15:00.000-07:00

Pop Quiz : The purpose of your resume is to:

a. Tell a long detailed story about your career experiences.
b. Have recruiters proofread and edit your resume before submitting your profile to the hiring manager.
c. Help recruiters identify your personal interests and hobbies.
d. Help recruiters get that inner glow when they know they have found a hot candidate.

It goes without saying that in this job market your resume needs to jump out from the stack. It’s not unusual for a recruiter to get hundreds of resumes in response to even the most mundane of jobs.

We’re assuming you know how to properly format your resume, make sure your information is accurate (job titles, employment dates etc). However, you also need to be brief and straight to the point about your work experience by bulleting your points or describing your position in two to three sentences. In addition, remember to use the spell check and grammar check. In your resume, we as recruiters also want you to display your professional and/or technical career life, not your personal life because we fill positions based on the “essential job requirements” of the job description.

So, here’s the big secret: companies want to know what you can do for them (in today’s job market, yes, it is all about THEM). The best thing you can do on your resume is SHOUT out your accomplishments, not just list your job duties. What did you do that was above and beyond that made your boss glow? (Oh, you saved $17K a year on printing costs – we love you for that!) What did you do that was excellent? (You brought in a new client that increased company revenue by 20% - you got that promotion, right?)

So do some heavy thinking, get those facts and figures ready (it’s really important to prove how great you are), prominently display them on your resume, and make the recruiters of the world sit up and feel proud knowing that we’ve got the right candidate!

(The answer above is “d” – but you knew that)

Networking, Does It Work?

2009-07-13T07:12:00.000-07:00

I am sure you have heard and read that networking is one of the best ways to find your new dream job. But do you know the best ways to network? Although some of the suggestions listed below might seem easy to follow, some people might not find it hard to accomplish. So if you are shy make networking success a personal challenge and keep at it.

NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES ARE EVERYWHERE – don’t limit it to just networking events. You never know who will seat next to you on the plane or bus or who will be behind you at the grocery store.
RESEARCH NEW EVENTS – if you want to expand your network don’t forget different opportunities such as local alumni meetings, professional organizations, continuing education classes, conventions, class reunions, fundraisers, business conferences…..you get the picture.
REACH OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE – be interested in people. If you are shy about discussing yourself, build connections by finding common ground through questions and talking about your personal interests. There are endless possibilities: friends, relatives, professors, former co-workers, your barber/hairdresser, business executives, your physician, local politicians, neighbors, in addition to social networking sites, of course.
PREPARE YOUR MESSAGE – rehearse your elevator speech but don’t generalize by giving just your title – be specific about what you did and what you accomplished. And make your message about qualifications is always consistent.
DON’T TAKE YOUR RESUME to networking and other events. Save it for job fairs. Instead, have business cards printed with your information in front and a list of your specific skills/accomplishments in the back. You can order inexpensive, professional looking cards from office supply stores and many online vendors. And have cards with you at all times.
AT THE EVENT - try to find out who will be there (companies and people); then research them. Rehearse you elevator speech on the way to the event and circulate throughout the event but don’t spend too much time on a single conversation. Remember your purpose is to walk away with lots of business cards to add to your networking file. If you don’t have one create a rolodex, database or notebook with details about each contact: who they are, what they do, where you met, their interests, who they now, etc.
HELP OTHERS – whenever possible. Remember to treat people with respect if you want to be treated with respect. Help as much as you can others who are networking by providing leads, suggestions, etc.
FOLLOW UP – this is critical as having a well written resume. After you make a contact, write a thank you note and refer to specific advice or to the lead that he/she provided you. And keep in touch with your contacts on a regular basis, including inviting them to events that they might not be aware of; and when you get a new job, let them know and thank them again.

Create Your “Career” Stimulus Package

2009-06-08T09:11:00.000-07:00

In the past year, there has been so much discussion in the media about the Economic Stimulus Plan options and which proposals are better than the others - everyone has an opinion on how to improve the economy. Certainly, everyone should have an opinion because improvements in the economy start with your individual plan. It has been proven that many individual actions holistically impact not only the housing market or stock market, but energy, education, healthcare, taxes, etc. With that said, we as individuals also have an impact on stimulating our careers with a Career Stimulus Package!

So, let me explain and provide you with the analogies of the Economic Stimulus Package and your Career Stimulus Package. As with the 2009 Stimulus Package, there are billions of dollars supporting each of the following components: tax relief, state and local fiscal relief, infrastructure and science, protecting the vulnerable, healthcare, education and training, energy and there’s even an “other” category (source: Obama Stimulus Package 2009). Each one of these can actually represent your own individual situation and even more, they can represent your career growth. Just keep in mind, regardless if you are unemployed or employed, you can stimulate your career through this stimulus package.

ONLINE/MOBILE/SOCIAL NETWORKING RELIEF. Relief often comes in different ways: financially, socially, emotionally, etc. In the career sense, you can relieve yourself from a mindset that is unfulfilling, complacent, and blasé. The perfect and inexpensive way to provide yourself with relief from this type of mindset is through networking via the internet using Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, or Linkedin. These online networking tools can be easily managed in the comforts of your own home, at your desk, or anywhere for that matter if you are using a mobile application. Connect with people, link to and follow organizations that are of the same profession you have an interest. Just the other day I linked to several talent acquisition and employment branding organizations on LinkedIn. I simply typed in the words “recruiting and branding” in the search field and the result was a list of organizations I could potentially link to for networking! There are so many more social networks and mobile sites to leverage, it can be a relief to be able to do this without having to attend a face-to-face event.

FACE-TO-FACE NETWORKING RELIEF. Relief can also be defined as creating and leveraging an opportunity where you can efficiently and comfortably accomplish whatever career goals you set. For many, face-to-face networking is a relief as well, because it puts the human interaction in the mix. It can be exhilarating to put faces with names and have meaningful, in-depth conversations with people about your career and their careers. At Verizon, all employees can join affinity groups called employee resource groups to network and gain leadership development and educational opportunities. So, take advantage of the opportunities to engage yourself, talk about yourself and what you enjoy doing, ask meaningful questions to others about if they enjoy what they do and how they began their careers. Simply put, conversations should have both a give and take aspect. Also, naturally infuse your prepared elevator speech during your conversation in 3 – 4 sentences. You will find pleasure and relief in just knowing that you can build a network to stimulate your career growth through real life contacts!

YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE AND SCIENCE OF YOU. You have a unique infrastructure and science about you that always has room for improvement. Rebuild or reposition your infrastructure with your next career phase in mind. Create your short and long-term plan, determine where you want to be and put yourself in the mindset to achieve your career goals in everything you do. That means assessing and refining your infrastructure in the following ways: (a) physically – the way you visually and verbally present yourself such as your professionalism and dress code, (b) intellectually – what you know and how you put information to use, (c) emotionally – how you feel about yourself and others is demonstrated in what you do, (d) spiritually – how you define and incorporate your beliefs, values, and ethical limits in your career plan, (e) socially – how you interact with others and if it is professional and respectful. These are just a few elements of your infrastructure and how you can refine it for your career goals.

PROTECTING YOUR VULNERABILITY. Even when you create your career stimulus plan, you really have to stay on track emotionally because with reality, you will unfortunately have rejections. Not everyone will accept your plan, not everyone will need your talent. So, QTIP – Quit Taking It Personally. I’ve had to tell myself this so many times during my career, pick myself up and move forward. Turn those negative emotions around and stay positive. In addition, everyone has vulnerabilities and weaknesses and it’s important to identify what they are and work at turning them around as strengths. When presenting yourself, always do research before interviews or introductions to new networks; know your audience and what you’re going to say before you say it. Always back up your statements with the research and if you don’t know something, just say you don’t know, but you can find out. These are just a few steps on protecting your vulnerability in the world of unexpected possibilities.

YOUR HEALTHCARE. As I mentioned earlier, your package starts with you and your infrastructure; and the science of you is extremely important. Likewise, being healthy is important to your career growth. Healthiness involves having a healthy attitude, healthy appearance, healthy work habits, and so forth. Remember, stimulating your career means stimulating yourself!

YOUR EDUCATION AND TRAINING. Growth means learning and if you don’t have the opportunity to learn, you don’t have the pleasure of growing. Hence, leverage any opportunity to learn more about the profession you’re interested in and put it to use, whether it’s volunteering your services, job shadowing, or being proactive about adding to your work responsibilities. In fact, Verizon offers continuous learning sessions via webinars and onsite meetings. Life-long learning is encouraged at Verizon!

YOUR ENERGY AND PASSION. The economic stimulus plan may be talking about our environmental energy and boosting renewable energy, but the energy for your career stimulus plan that I’m talking about is the passion you exemplify in everything you do and say! Whether you are interviewing with enthusiasm or speaking about your new assignment with eagerness, people notice if you have energy and they notice if you are engaged in your everyday tasks. When you create your career stimulus plan, think about what makes you enjoy your work, what makes you smile and look forward to walking into your office everyday. Turn on your excitement, enjoy what you do, and think about how your current situation is adding to your strengths for future positions.

OTHER. Although every one of these components may not have a billion dollars associated with it like the 2009 Economic Stimulus Plan, they do require an invaluable amount of time and effort on your part. So, package these components and any other component you know will add value to your Career Stimulus Package!

In conclusion, use the components in this Career Stimulus Package to stimulate your mind, your networking, your infrastructure, your health, your education, and most of your energy! Stimulate YOU!

Summer is approching...

2009-05-08T12:39:00.000-07:00

Summer is approaching…this is an exciting time for employers and job seekers alike. Companies are seeking out the finest talent and job seekers are looking for the greatest opportunity. Job seekers may be wondering how to prepare for “that” summer job search, whether you are a potential graduate or seeking an internship, there are many things to consider prior to obtaining employment. With the economy the way it is today, companies and businesses may be looking to scale back, and continue focusing on the most qualified talent in efforts to hire and retain the best.

In preparing yourself to be the best, one may want to consider the following:

No matter what field you want to enter, the first step to finding a job is getting the proper training and education. One of the most important rules on finding a job is to first have marketable skills or a willingness to learn a new trade. Your attitude needs to reflect an eagerness to prove your skills. Even if you plan to take some time off after graduation, you need to keep your skills current and your attitude positive as finding and securing a job can be as easy as filling out an application at a local retail store or as complicated as proving yourself through grueling interviews.

Here are some tips for finding a good job:

Career placement services. Almost every school or training facility offer some form of job placement assistance. Visiting this office can yield job leads you would most likely never discover on your own, as companies often reach out directly to schools and career centers.
Job fairs. Every year local and national companies come together for conventions, job fairs and informational sessions. These job fairs can connect company representatives with potential employees. A good job fair is like one-stop shopping for the diligent job seeker. Gather all of the information you can during the convention, and don't be afraid to ask serious questions.
Networking. Reach out to peers, professors, professional organizations, mentors and/or those within your community. Ask questions and make your skills and intentions clear to those connections around you.
Professional job placement services. This may be an expensive route to take for a new graduate, but a professional employment service may have targeted leads on jobs you'd never discover on your own. Some ask for a fee to keep your name on file, while others collect a portion of your salary until the debt has been settled. These placement services may also offer to create resumes or hold mock interviews in order to hone your skills
Web Sites. This may be the easiest way to learn of opportunities and obtain a company profile. Most sites will allow a job seeker to review all position details and apply on-line.

Although there is no guaranteed method of gaining employment, those actively looking for work need to use as many methods and sources as it takes to get the results they want. Job searching is an active process, so expect to spend as much time looking for work as you would expect to put into the job itself.

Remember to stay focused as the problem for many new graduates is that they are unsure what type of career they want to pursue. Having been in school for the past sixteen years and accustomed to having someone advise them of their next move, first year graduates often experience a difficult transition as they move from a structured educational environment into what is known after college as the “real world.”

New Year’s Resolution in April?

2009-04-10T09:18:00.000-07:00

Twitter, FaceBook, LinkedIn, Yahoo Groups…..we have all heard of these social networking sites. But how many of us are really using them and figuring out how to make our businesses or our lives better?

I am not a resolution-making type of person. But late last year, I decided that I needed to start exploring these technologies myself and challenged myself to start using them. I was surprised at what I found and how many different ways you could use them as a recruiter, marketer, professional and a passive or active job seeker.

While I don’t consider myself an expert, I have dabbled in the social networking sites, attended webcasts to help me understand the functionality/potential, and read lots and lots of blogs, tweets or articles on ways people are using them to achieve their personal or business goals. I was amazed at the amount of good professional advice I found, all trying to make it easier for people like me (and you) to take the plunge!

Some of you reading this have probably been using these for years or at least months. For those of you who are not (and I know there are a bunch of you out there), I have a challenge for you. It doesn’t cost you anything to try these social networking sites. Why not pick one site this week or this month and just try it. Then when you figure out how that works and if you like it, you can try a second one. I am going to make this easy for you; just click on the links below, and you can start now!

I can’t believe 2008 is almost over! I want to take a few minutes and share just a few awards Verizon has received this year.

Working Mother magazine
Verizon is once again the only telecommunications or cable company on Working Mother magazine’s list of 100 Best Companies for Working Mothers. This is the eighth consecutive year that Verizon has been named to the list, which recognizes companies that have family-friendly benefits and policies that help working mothers strike a balance between their work and personal lives. “Verizon knows that their investment pays for itself through employee loyalty, and they realize that productivity depends as much on satisfied staffers as on smart processes,” said Suzanne Riss, editor-in-chief, Working Mother magazine. “By helping employees manage their work/life demands, Verizon is creating a highly motivated workforce.”

Black Enterprise magazine
Verizon has again been named to Black Enterprise magazine's 40 Best Companies for Diversity, the most recent in a series of honors this year recognizing Verizon as a top employer and a leader in corporate diversity.
In selecting the companies, Black Enterprise evaluated diversity programs and consulted with diversity experts and corporate diversity officers. The publication also conducted an extensive survey of more than 1,000 of the country's largest publicly traded companies and more than 50 leading global companies with significant U.S. operations. This is the third time that Verizon has been named to the list.

As this year comes to an end I look forward to a new year as we strive for excellence!

Being the week of Thanksgiving, it would be appropriate to offer thanks for all that we have. First let me thank all of you for helping to make my blog a success. Without you, my blog would just be a journal. Thanksgiving is a special time of year not only because we get to fill up on turkey and dressing, but also because in invokes a sense of humanity in people. It’s a time to help those who are less fortunate, to look deep into our hearts and shed that tough skin that surrounds us throughout most of the year. It’s a time to enjoy life and the company of family and friends. So don’t only fill your stomach, but your heart as well, and remember to offer thanks for all that make’s your life richer.

The end of a week, what a feeling.

Hey everyone. I know, I know, been awhile, hasn't it. A lot has happened since last week and it seems as though history has been made and guess what, we are part of it. Amazing to me how things happen all around us, then years pass, and basically, it is all about the "next best thing since sliced bread", which leads me to my topic........Verizon FiOS. If I must say so myself, it is quite incredible. FiOS not only offers us the top speeds, but also the highest quality HD TV and phone services, all wrapped up in to one. How won't take advantage of that. And, in these times, who isn't looking for a deal.....Check it out now and for the best offer, do it on-line. Have a great weekend and I promise to be more accessible next week....

Its been almost 3 months since I started this blog, so I thought it was time to get a little feedback. Now, most of you are thinking that all I want to hear is the good things, but that is not true. I want to hear it all, the good and the bad... I believe they call it constructive criticism.

So, for starters, how do you think this is going. Am I giving you the information you need, am I responding to you in a timely manner, am I responding to everyone, do my responses help you?

Conversely, do I talk about things that you want to hear about? If not can you provide me some suggestions and/or topics that you might like to hear more about, I would be very interested in feedback, so please feel free to send them to me. As I stated early on, this blog is for you first, so please provide me your feedback, the good and the bad. It is all appreciated as it will make this format better, and that is the goal.

Anyone interested in going green? If so take a look at some of the things Verizon is doing to impact the environment!

Verizon supports the recycling chain at every level by reducing waste, recycling materials and purchasing recycled products. Besides our extensive office paper and cardboard recycling, highlights of our program include Paperless Billing, Verizon cell phone recycling, Wireless Phone Battery Recycling, Telecommunications Equipment Recycling and Green Purchasing.The annual environmental benefit of Verizon Energy Conservation and Recycling Programs is equivalent to:

60,000 passenger cars not driven for one year;
Conserving over 37 million gallons of gasoline;
Growing more than 8,500,000 tree seedlings for 10 years; or
Approximately 2,300 acres of forest preserved from deforestation.

Also, Verizon's Fleet is now greener in New York State. Verizon has rolled out forty new hybrid sedans to replace all-gasoline powered vehicles and reduce carbon emissions.
This change, according to a news release, will reduce carbon emissions by an estimated 105 metric tons annually.

In total, Verizon has rolled out 100 new hybrid sedans in metropolitan areas across the country as a demonstration of its progressive corporate leadership. The 100 new hybrid sedans will reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by an estimated 263 metric tons annually, which will result in the conservation of nearly 30,000 gallons of fuel.

Making a positive impact on the environment is important to Verizon. This results in a higher quality of life for the communities we live in and serve.

Time to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month

2008-09-25T04:31:00.000-07:00

Good morning to all. Yes, I do have to apologize, it has been a while since I posted, but I was doing some wonderful exciting things. Last week the Verizon Talent Acquisition Strategy team sprearheaded a Telecom Photo Shoot. We obtained photographs from over 30 employees for the Dallas Fort Worth area, and have obtained 55 in total from locations through-out the US. It is incredibly exciting as these employees will be featured in our ads, on the web, on fliers, posters, etc. All the employees were stoked to be part of the event and are anxious to see the final products which will be released later this fall in our new advertising campaigns....so there is your sneak preview......

Another EXCITING thing we are doing this month at Verizon is celebrating Hispanic Heritage month which began Monday, Septebmer 15th and runs thru the 15th of October. We started it off with a bang and awarded more than $680,000 in scholarships to 146 Hispanic students for the 2008-2009 school year. Among the organizations that have received grants from Verizon to fund scholarships are:

Hispanic Scholarship Fund - $200,000 for 33 scholarships
Hispanic Business College Fund - $150,000 for 35 scholarships
Hispanic Engineering, Science and Technology Program at the University of Texas-Pan American - $25,000 for 5 scholarship
Society of Professional Hispanic Engineers National Scholarship - $30,000 for 6 scholarships
University of Southern California/Mexican American Alumni Association - $45,000 for 9 scholarships
Ten additional organizations and colleges and universities that serve the Latino community received approximately $230,000 to award scholarships

In all, the Verizon Foundation has awarded more than $31.7 million in grants since 2006 to nonprofit organizations that benefit and serve the Hispanic Community. So, overall, we are pretty estatic that we are able to provide such a wonderful gift and so many opportunities!

Additionally, the Verizon Foundation has awarded more than $31.7 million in grants since 2006 to nonprofit organizations that benefit and serve the Hispanic Community. Some recent initiatives include:
The creation of a special Hispanic Heritage Month resources section on Thinkfinity.org, which provides free educational resources, lesson plans and activities for teachers, parents and students. Thinkfinity.org is the Verizon Foundation’s comprehensive program and online portal to 55,000 standards-based, grade-specific, K-12 lesson plans and other educational resources provided in partnership with many of the nation’s leading educational and literacy organizations.

So, check it out and join us in the celebration!!!!

Remembering Those We Lost and Those Who Served

2008-09-11T12:38:00.000-07:00

Instead of writing the usual blog today, I would like to take some time to talk about something that is near and dear to our hearts. September 11 is a day that no one will forget and I would like to honor three Verizon fallen heroes that lost their lives in the attack.

The events of Sept. 11, 2001, in New York presented Verizon Communications with an immediate, critical challenge - quickly repair widespread damage in an area as densely populated and so critical to the financial world as lower Manhattan. Verizon's employees responded to the emergency by helping the New York Stock Exchange resume trading and handle record volumes less than a week after the attacks, helping small businesses survive by transferring their phone numbers to temporary locations and much more.

Those that were been lost will never be forgotten. We will remember the past as we continue to move forward. So please take a moment out of your busy days to reflect briefly on that day, and honor all those affected directly and indirectly by the events of 9/11.

Being the tech minded "closest geek" that I can be, I have been researching to identify what the latest and greatest items are on the tech front. Why, you ask, that is just me wanting to offer the best possible prizes and/or incentives to our candidates. So, I ask you, what are the items that you would want, in the meantime, here is what I have come up with...

Sony's New Cyber-Shot T700 and T77 Camera's- Thin is in, this is the thinnest digital camera being made and its boasts a big 3-inch LCD touchscreen....SMILE
Slingbox- Sling "what". This tool allows you to watch your TV anywhere, and the beauty is there are no-monthly fees......
Kiwi- Go Green, get it? this device will tell you when you are driving aggressively and to slow down to be more Green. Other functions as well, but I thought this was super neat
USB TV Tuner- For those with good laptops and/or desktops, you can connect to an antenna or digital cable signal and play the video from your screen.
iTalk- Until now you couldn't use your IPOD to record voice, but with this handy tool, you can...Very cool.

Ok, enough from me. Am I on target, or am I full of hot air? Tell me what you think and in the meantime, check-out our site at www.verizon.com/telecomjobs

Have a great evening.....

Hi everyone, and hats off to our favorite day of the work week, Friday. My topic for today is, Being Green. Many of you probably don't even know that Verizon is doing their part to be "environmental stewards". Did you know that Corporate Officer (CRO) Magazine named Verizon one of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens for 2008. Of the eight categories the CRO used to rate companies, we were rated the highest for our work in climate change and the environment. And here are some cool facts...

No other company in the telecommunications industry has earned as many Energy Star certifications as Verizon.
Verizon supplies a variety of services (teleconferencing, video conferencing, Internet access, etc.) to facilitate communications without the need to travel and produce greenhouse gas emissions.
Verizon has implemented a Commuter Reimbursement Program that encourages employees to use mass transit or van pools that assist communities in improving air quality
Verizon has a procedure for the reuse, refurbishment, resale or recycling of surplus office furniture from unused offices.
Verizon's document storage and destruction procedures include paper recycling.

Overall, Verizon is committed to minimizing its impact on the environment and conserving natural resources. To take it a step further, we not only comply with all applicable environmental regulations, but many of our programs go beyond regulatory requirements, such as our Energy Conservation and Recycling Programs. And, to put our money where our mouth is, so to speak, the benefits of these efforts are equivalent to the following:

60,000 passenger cars not driven for one year;
Conserving over 37 million gallons of gasoline;
Growing more than 8,500,000 tree seedlings for 10 years; or
Approximately 2,300 acres of forest preserved from deforestation

Amazing isn't it. We are certainly doing our part which is just another good reason to join the Verizon team. Have a great weekend and Be Green...

Kelly :)

Happy Monday, Everyone!

Well, we have been talking a lot about the site, jobs, and Verizon, so today I want to share a new topic, Job Fair Etiquette, which was written by one of our very own recruiters, Steven Vanaria, out of Boston, MA.

TIP ONE: Dress for Success

· Many companies have a business casual dress code, but as a job seeker, you only have ONE CHANCE to make a first impression.
· Wearing appropriate business attire is strongly recommended.

TIP TWO: Be prepared with a game plan

· Do your homework and research specific employers you are targeting. You need to know what’s “going on” with these companies.
· Avoid telling a recruiter you are interested in “Anything”. Instead, ask the recruiter what positions they have available and then be prepared to speak about the areas that are of interest to you.
· Ask questions! Recruiters love using their “social” skills, so think about what questions to ask and bring a list with you.

TIP THREE: Bring multiple copies of your resume

· A resume is a vital tool that sells you to a prospective employer and speaks about your education, skills and career background.
· A resume will also quickly “introduce” you and your skills to a recruiter, which if the career fair is extremely busy and loud, may help that recruiter quickly connect with you while scanning your resume.

TIP FOUR: Prepare an “elevator speech”

· An “elevator speech” is a short presentation presented in the time it takes an elevator to go from the top floor to the bottom or vice versa.
· Your elevator speech should allow you to discuss a “capsuled” version of your career and what you are now looking for.
· Talk about what you “know”. Candidates can sometimes seem unprepared when they are asked if they possess certain skills. The candidate should answer honestly if they do not have a specific skill, but follow it up with expressing to the recruiter that he/she is a quick learner and would be willing to learn that particular skill, if hired.

TIP FIVE: The gap

· A candidate should be prepared to explain any “gap” in dates in their employment or education history.
· Gaps are common in today’s employment “culture”; just be ready for the question by practicing what you are going to say before hand.

We hope you find these “tips” to be helpful and we hope to see you soon! So, visit our events page www22.verizon.com/about/careers/events/events.html, and see where the Verizon recruiters will be next!

Have a great evening!

Happy Friday! I am not afraid to tell you, that I am extremely happy it is Friday. What a week. I am sure many of you feel the same, but I hope that each of you have a great sense of accomplishment...I sure do! To be quite honest, I think that comes from truly loving what I do and loving the company that I work for. Not to sound like an infomercial, but I am truly amazed at all the wonderful products and services we offer, for such a low cost! Seriously, have you checked out FiOS? For starters, FiOS TV is 100% digital quality, with over 200 all-digital channels, the most popular HD programming, and it has an EXTENSIVE on-demand library with over 10,000 titles... I mean come on, that is impressive right, but it doesn't stop there, our FiOS internet offers up to 10/2Mbps internet speeds, no charge install, and 24/7 tech support....Makes you want to be a part of a it all, doesn't it?

So, come join the Verizon team, where the opportunities are endless! www.verizon.com/telecomjobs

Also, if you are interested in learning more about our FiOS products, I've got connections :), so drop me a line!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Ok, we have talked about networking before, but are you Linkedin? Have you ever spent time on that site, searching for friends, colleagues, classmates, etc? It is amazing at how much of your past you can find on just this simple site. I spent some time this weekend searching, because it is all about the networking right, and I found over 50 people that I needed to connect with. Now I realize the "needed" to might be a little strong, but I almost felt complete after I started reaching out to my previously disengaged friends, family, etc. And when they joined my network I was overjoyed. Now maybe I will shoot for 1000 contacts......

I would highly recommend becoming a member of Linkedin both from a professional and personal standpoint. The site offers many perks, and for those looking to re-connect or find the next great career opportunity, you might just find it. Check it out, on http://www.linkedin.com/. And as usual, don't forget to visit our site at: www.verizon.com/telecomjobs

Happy Friday!
I know it's the end of the week and everyone is ready to pack up and head home....First, take some time to check out Verizon's Perks and Benefits! Verizon offers some really great benefits that can really enhance your life if you became a Verizon employee. Have you thought about going back to obtain your Bachelors or Masters degree but realized how expensive it would be? Here at Verizon we offer tuition assistance to help offset the burden. Another great benefit Verizon offers is the 401(k) savings plan with excellent company matching contributions. If you want to check out all the other great benefits and Perks we offer click on the link below.

Day 2 and what is new at Verizon Telecom?

Well, for starters, our careers website has been re-designed and re-defined, and we think it is great. So, go to www.verizon.com/telecomjobs and spend a few minutes exploring. Here's an idea of what you might find.

A site that's in motion so that the job seeker is engaged from the get-go. Its exciting, its clean, and easy to navigate. And it looks like us, representative of the people who make up Verizon Telecom.

Job seekers can learn about the Verizon culture- not only what it is like to work here, but how we see the world through the eyes of the business that drives us- which is important for someone who decides to commit to us. We believe this new site reinforces who we are and it reinforces our position as the leader in entertainment and communication services, a force to be reckoned with. So come check it out and let me know what you think!

Welcome everyone to the "Meet VZHR blog". My name is Kelly McCorkle; Manager of Talent Strategy and Operations and this is a blog written by me for you. Additionally, we will also have an actual recruiter blog, which will launch separately, very soon. I have been with Verizon for 10 exciting years and I am thrilled to be blogging with you to tell you all about Verizon and the many opportunities we have. But first, let me tell you a little bit about me.....

I started with Verizon in June of 1998 working as a staffer and since that time, I have held many positions within HR, but I always seem to gravitate back to the talent acquisition function, as that truly is my passion. I enjoy the "people" aspect of recruiting and the way it allows me to use the right side of my brain aka the creative side of my brain. Plus, Verizon is on the forefront of technology and entertainment, which provides me many avenues and resources to attract the talent we need! So, its a perfect match.

Ok, enough about me and more about what it is that you can expect from this blog. I want this to be a tool that can help you get answers to your questions about Verizon and our employment opportunities. I also want this to be a open dialogue tool that can be shared with others that are curious about working at Verizon, or about our wonderful products. So, let the blog begin! Welcome Aboard. Check back daily for updates.........
