How to get a job at Comcast.

I have a question for you guys/gals I had my phone interview today for the door to door sales position...And im not sure how the process goes, they didnt really give me an exact answer just that I would receive a phone call if I was selected for the next step 1on1 interview. The Phone interview was only 12-15mins long, not sure what to expect any help....Sorry you know how it is when you are eager to start a job but not sure if they were interested

I have a role play screening tomorrow. I have done the initial phone screen and assesstment. Any pointers on this process? Also they told me if I passed the role play there is one more stage and that is the person to person. What should I expect. Its been a pretty quick moving process but I am nervous about this role play thing.

How to get a job at Comcast:

1). Visit www.comcast.com/careers
2). Click on "Search for jobs" or "Login/Register" midway down on the right hand side of the screen
3). Establish an online candidate profile and login information.
4). Search for desired career(s) within desired location(s) and read the job description, qualifications, etc,.
5). If desired, click on "Apply" at the top left hand corner of the job description page.
6). When you establish an online profile, be sure to complete ALL sections of the profile and DO attach a cover letter and resume. Also, be sure to release your profile to recruiters once you have completed your candidate profile. This opens up opportunities for you.
7). Check on the status of your job(s) applications every so often by logging into your profile via the website above. If it says "In Process", you are still being considered for the positon for which you have applied. At this point, the waiting game begins. Comcast Atlanta was very methodical throughout the hiring process here. It should read "Not Hired" if you have not been chosen for further consideration.
8). If you have been considered, most likely you'll receive an e-mail or phone call inviting you to take an assessment test of your personality and some position-related function, such as math assessment for Communications Technicians. Then, if you pass (you should find out immediately, if you fail, you have to wait six months before re-applying)you will be invited to an interview. Background checks and drug screenings are conducted if they choose to move you forward in the hiring process. For me, it was this simple (probably b/c of me background), but from what I have heard it was a little more complex for many people on here. (continued below)

I applied online 06.06.2010. On 06.10.2010 I received the call inviting me to take the assessments required for Communications Technicians. I passed that test on 06.15.2010. I had an interview two days later on 06.17.2010 and was recommended for hire by the two managers that interviewed me. A background check was conducted on me right after the interview. I was called on 07.09.2010 to be informed that I had been selected for employment (conditional offer) pending a negative drug screening. I took the drug test on 07.12.2010 and two days later on 07.14.2010 I received a call formally and officially offering me the position of Communications Technician, starting hourly rate of 12.25. I was scheduled for orientation and training. I start Monday 07/19/2010 and training the next day as a Communications Technician. Once I attend orientation, I will come back and update you all on pay, benefits, career advancement, nature of the work/business, company culture, etc,.

Comcast n00b in Sarasota, Florida said: I was just hired by Comcast today.

I sent them my resume via the Comcast website and also through a web site that posts jobs (similar to Monster). I was called the day after I had submitted my resume to the non-Comcast website.

I scheduled an appointment to take their tests for the following week.

I took a psychological test, then they gave me the technician test instead of the CSR test by mistake, (which I passed by the way LOL, and inevitibly the CSR test.

After testing, the same day I was taken to the CSR Managers office to interview. They had me sign a release for a background check and sent me off to a drug test.

It took them 3 days from when I interviewed to call me back with a job offer. (Which I feel is rather QUICK.)

They did check all of my references, this is a very thorough company which says to me there won't be much riff raff in the work environment.

I am very excited to begin employment with this company.

Good luck to all of you.

Hi,
I have an impressive track record with over 10 years in sales and 3 years of sales management. Are you still recruiting for Comcast? I'm looking for a sales position. If so, respond, perhaps to fslu@mail.com and I will send you over my resume. Thanks!

Comcast sucks
They hired me, after 10 years of applying now and then.
Invited me in for and interview with 2 guys, then into a 2nd interview with some corporate douche.
He hired me, sent me to take the urine test, which I passed.
They followed with some calls about former employers, all of who I spoke with about the matter, and told me they said many good things.
Then...I get an email saying I am awaiting approval from corporate before I start training/orientation.
I am on the verge of filing a discrimination claim with the eeoc.

Comcast is causing me to lost hope in a "recovering economy" I lost my job in April of 2010 and have applied at Comcast for 35 positions with not so much as even a call back. all I ever get are batch e-mails telling me that they have gone with another choice... am I wasting my time trying to get on with these guys? I have a bachelors degree in management and over 10 years of work exp... whats the deal?

Hey Nerd-a-Holic. I was wondering what type of test Comcast uses: Urine or hair. I have been clean for a month and a half, but the hair deal has me a bit worried. If you could let me know I would appreciate it. Thank you.

Does anyone have the contact info for the person in charge of all the Production Assistants for Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia? Thanks.

Not true I just got hired at Comcast and i'm absolutely not a good ole boy. It didn't take them that long to call me for and interview either. But it takes a while. They wait for a background check and you have to do a drug test. Really its just experience. FYI I'm only 20 so age isn't a factor either

What are they really checking for on background check? Just criminal? Very nervous about mine.

i took my drug test on the 11th and my back ground was closed and sent to comcast on the 19th. its now the 22nd ...is this normal they dont contact you back soo quickly. cuz training starts the 6th

has anyone interviews at comcast business class in horsham, pa?

I apply over the website, then received an email with a test of more that 125 questions, difference sometimes and other times same questions in difference orders. Then I received a call from a Comcast Recruiter who made me an phone interview, then she call me back the same day to schedule an interview with a supervisor. I take it and since that, never heard anything of Comcast, has been 2 weeks since that.

What's the time that I'm suppose to wait until the next step ??

Thank You

When interviewing for any company your attitude makes a huge difference. Comcast is in fact hiring like crazy right now for a braod spectrum of positions. You cannot apply online at my website, but if you have questions send and email to and put in the subject, looking for a Comcast position. My staff will pick up the email and see if they can assist you.
Good luck.

Hi,
I am applying to COMCAST and applied last week? Did u apply online or use some sort of recruiters or contacts?
Thanks

Comcast called me this morning after I filled out an application last night. I had no idea they were going to interview me right then and there! They asked me a few questions and I messed up on a few. I can't believe that I couldn't explain to them where to find a web address. I just wasn't expecting it. The interviewer told me she will forward my questions to HR department. Does this mean I messed up???

I found an opening for Comm Tech 1 on careerbuilder.com. Applied through Comcast website 5/14/2012 and had an email the next day to take an assessment test. I took the test online yesterday (5/15/2012.) I'm awaiting another email or phone call to see if I proceed with their next steps. Does anyone know what the next step is? I too have applied on and off again with Comcast for a few years now and never heard a scratch from them so I'm kind of excited this time that I actually had a response and a test this time. I just don't want to get my hopes up.

I just got a second interview with comcast. Can someone please tell me what kind of interview questions they ask???

mary in Sarasota, Florida said: It helps to know someone. You still have to go to the websire and post your resume but knowing someone will help you get that interview. I have been with the company for over 2 years now and I love all the people I work with. We work hard but we play hard too! Good luck to you.

Hi Mary can we talk my wife has all the qualifications in the world my name is Tyrone. Will you get her resume or know someone who could get her resume in front of someone there.

I went on there website. The tests are kindy tricky but easy.

Atia in Utica, Michigan said: Usually you have to go through two interviews. I wonder if you are telling us the truth...

I agree seems to me like when the truth is out about hiring and the process, maybe an employee comes on and explain in a big huge paragraph that they got hired in less than a week. That goes for most of the companies when applicants tell their story on how the business they applied for work.

I beleive that they have to post job listings to show their Ratio of employment openings ever year for their statics, but in reality most hire within the job or no someone that works there to get their foot in the door.

I have a recruiter who called me and sent me to a Comcast interview for inside sales/CSR. A couple of days before the interview I went online and applied for the position and took the assesment test. The assesment was comprised of a virtual call center scenario and a big long personality test; no math, no English, no hard skills.

I went to the interview; a group interview in which they told us about Comcast and sold us the job. Then we interviewed individually for about 15 minutes. My recruiter emailed me late that afternoon and let me know they wanted to hire me.

A week later she called me and said they changed their mind because of my assesment. I have sucessfully worked in call centers before and am fast on a computer so I can't imagine that failed that portion of the assesment. I have a BA degree from a university and have numberous tests and assesments for other jobs that were a lot harder then Comcast's. So apparently I have the wrong personaity, in spite of having a proven track record of success.

Comcast has taken out the human element in the hiring process. They are letting a computer, a machine, have a voice over and above the humans. Nice work, Comcast.

As a side note, I have worked with the same system they work with in the call center. Have you read 1984? Enough said. Yes, I'm irritated with their system but a little relieved that I don't have to work there.

I can't believe Comcast didn't hire me, I was so sure that they would. My interview was easy but don't know why they feel I would not contribute to their company.

i got an email asking me to do the assessment took it and since then no response.. still shows in process tho

On December 17, A Comcast recruiter contacted me and asked me to do an assessment online, I then completed it right away. The next day i called her back, and she gave me an over the phone interview and said i did very well and set me up for an in person interview on Dec 20 @ 330pm. I got to my interview 30min early. Everything went well. A day after i contacted my recruiter and asked her what were the next steps, she said it could take a while due to the holidays and getting through all of the interviews, she did say i should get a call back for the job. She also mentioned that training starts on the second week of January 2013. I haven't heard anything yet. I call her and leave her voice mails but hasn't returned my calls....is it that shes been off due to the holidays or what?

Can someone explain the next steps or what i should expect? I really need this job :/
I have great experience in the technical field, just anxious to find out what will happen next.

I applied for Comcast next day I got a call to schedule a phone interview..i did really good next day they called to schedule a face to face interview next day they called me for h job offer and send me the background check paperwork and drug test papers.. took the drug test.. signed the offer letter and a few days later i got n email saying that something came up on my background check investigation.. that i might not get the job after signing the job offer.. now its still in process after having to submitt an explanation. I know they wont hire me for having a felony 5 years ago.. it never came out it surprised me it did... I had no problem getting a job with AT&T now move on and apply else were..

They will more than likely be getting back to you very soon. I was in the same boat, went to an info session with a group of others and was told interviews would not be held that day as planned. The lady that gave the presentation assured all of us that we would have a chance to interview but the managers were overwhelmed with work and plus it was the holidays. I had gave up on getting a call back, but received an email the other day to come for an interview, so I would say give them a minute they are probably just getting caught up.

I applied for a job at Comcast a while back and am worried about the criminal background check. I was arrested for a misdemeanor a few years ago but successfully completed a pretrial diversion program and the charges were dropped. In addition, the court sealed the arrest record which entitles me to honestly say I have never been arrested. The arrest record can only be unsealed via court order. Will Comcast dig that deep? I really need this job. Any advice will be extremely appreciated and thanks so much!

At this point, I could really use a Comcast mentor. Thanks again!

Any advice for someone trying to get in?

Work for an Indian offshore company in India. What they don't offshore they have these companies bring their people over here. I applied for a job through there through Tata and Infosys and off course it never works out. The guy from Tata at Comcast never called of course and Infosys seemed only interested in discrediting American workers.

I am looking for a Customer Sales or Collections Agent job at Comcast in Atlanta. I've applied online but haven't heard anything. I have a background in journalism so I also could work in PR or public affairs.

I'm looking to get my foot in the door as a tech. I don't have work experience on my resume related to IT and installation but I have a strong interest, knowledge in the field of computers and I learn quickly. I also live in NJ. I'm interested in any job openings you may be recruiting for.

So I have been applying as a com tech since I left the Army, roughly 3 years. The first interview I landed with Comcast was a group interview. At one point we were all asked "why should I hire you and not someone else." This seemed pretty unprofessional to me but whatever, I needed the job. I passed the interview (as did everyone else at the time) and took a psych/assessment test. After which I got the Dear John letter.

Skip a few years of post 911 GI bill...I received an email inviting me to take a test for the company. I had nothing else to do so I took it and within 3 days got a call from a recruiter who set me up with a face to face interview. I went into the interview and was told that I did really well by the two supervisors I met with. They told me I would be hearing from them next week (this week now) with an offer or with news that I didn't get the position. Its almost been one week and I'm stressing out over the phone call.

The hardest part for me to understand is how it took me three years of applying to get this far in the process. I worked as a communications specialist in the Army and have great customer service history. Oh well, I'll report back here as to what happens to me when I find out.

Got another "Thanks but no thanks" letter today. Sigh.

So to update, it turns out the location I was interviewed at had a hiring freeze. The recruiter called me three days after I got the letter and set me up for an interview at a different location. I was interviewed with a few others and all went well. We then interviewed with another supervisor and were told we would be hearing the decision soon. The next day I was given a preliminary offer based on my background check and drug test. Two days after that I received the drug test information. I picked a location and took the drug test the next day as they were closed by the time I could go. I just finished my background check paper work and within 12 hours was asked for a copy of my diploma and some W-2s. I'll post back when something new happens.
