It is helpful if you know someone in the company who can give you a recommendation. Homeland prides itself on its 5 star status. Make sure to dress professionally, and of course never speak negatively about your former employer, they don't like that, as many would not. You will be asked questions about how you would handle various scenarios. Just answer honestly. If you put in your application, you will eventually receive a letter whether or not they want to interview you. This may take time, so you are welcome to call and check but it will not expedite the process more than likely.
