Since lots of people
ask me about working at Comcast, I prepared a form email for just such
inquiries.

Comcast is hiring.
While I can't bring
people in, I can give you an "allegedly" expedited path into the
hiring process. I am told that this "guarantees" you at least an
initial read by a screener AND on any search where you "match"
(whatever that means) you will sort higher than a competitor from other
sources. (Or so I am told.)
Advise the seeker to go to http://careers.comcast.com,
use the "referred by an employee" link. Here I'm known as "
And, they should drop
me an email alerting me to our new found "friendship" with their
resume. So if, and when, someone asks me about them, I'll know.
To ensure that hiring
isn't unfairly impacted by "who you know", I am not permitted to
"interfere" with the hiring process. That' means I don't get any
feedback on the whole shooting match. Since I am not eligible for a finder's
fee, I don't even know when some one does get hired. So, I have no vested
interest in what happens. Other than the satisfaction of seeing a fellow
"turkey" get in out of the cold.
But, that means,
"checking in with me", "seeking feedback", "expressing
interest" is a waste of everyone's time, paper, electrons, of voice.
There is literally nothing I can do but commiserate with you.
Be advised that the
process is agonizingly slow. It literally took 8 months from first contact to
eventual hire in my case. I usnderstand that timeframe
is not at all unusual.
So, here's a
"back door" for you to use.
Good luck and good
hunting.

P.S.: I have been told
that the data asked for has changed. I am located at the 1800 Bishops Gate

something else, feel free to make it up because I've never gotten any feedback –
good or bad – from all the uses of my cheat sheet. :-) Us
