The first step is submitting a resume. I heard back by phone within two days of submitting my resume. The phone call I received was an initial screening for the job. I answered honestly and wasn't an exact match for the dialect desired. I was still able to move forward to a 75 min online test hosted by eskill.com that had to be completed within 48 hours. The test covered everything that the position was seeking to include some very specific and obscure dialect questions.
