I applied online. I interviewed at TP (Virginia Beach, VA) in May 2015
Interview
I applied online and was contacted the next day via email to attend a phone conference for a group information session. After the phone conference was over (approx. 45 minutes), I was given an email address for a recruiter to set up a phone interview. The first phone interview that was scheduled, I never received a call. The next interview that was scheduled (the next day) the recruiter called me 30 early, so I ended up missing the call. Then the next day, I finally received a call but it was 15 minutes late. So if you don't get a call within a few minutes of your scheduled interview, don't give up, they might just be running a little behind. After my phone interview I was contacted by the Lead Recruiter and was offered the job. $10/hour during the 3 week training and then $11/hour once the training was completed.
