H1B hiring in Verizon?

I have been trying to get into Verizon for a while now, but everytime I get same response that my qualifications are not a match even though I have every qualification they are looking for. I am thinking this could be due to my H1b visa status. Do you guys know how to get into Verizon on a H1B? I am looking opportunities in network design/planning/optimization.

I know many people in Verizon on H1B

Lot of H-1B in Verizon. What location are you looking at?

Dallas, Atlanta or Chicago.. I was told they only take H1 in IT side. I am looking for jobs in RF Side.

Many H1Bs. I have heard there is ongoing FTE hiring freeze in VZ though

They are not hiring FTE who are on H1B, in Ashburn area. Not sure about Atlanta or Tampa.

I got three interview calls from different departments in Verizon and none of them were sponsoring H1B. They are hiring lot of contractors though.

Yes they are hiring as contractors via a consultation firm so that hire,fire and replacement is easy

Same here .. I have applied multiple times for RF engineering 2 and 3 positions .. every time they say I don’t meet the requirements.. I not only meet all the requirements , I exceed them lol. I am in telecom for more than a decade now. I am applying for the Walnut Creek CA positions . Then I heard that Verizon only takes software engineering positions in H1B .. not RF engineering. Smh !!
