The hiring process was extremely slow for Dish. Dish seems to keep a rolling open application open in all areas even when we are saturated with technicians in a given area. From the date that I applied, it took 3 months before I went off for training. The application is a long one with your usual personality test. Once I was contacted, we set up an interview. In between the phone calls received, and after the interview, none of the management contacts would answer my phone, and I felt like I was being ignored. Dish sent me an offer of employment but no one returned my calls for 2-3 weeks after. I was about to give up, when I got a call that said I will be flying out for training. The interview was relaxed, and not too extreme. I met with one of the FSM's and don't recall any difficult questions.
