I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at AT&T (Greensboro, NC) in Mar 2013
Interview
I have applied to AT&T on several occasions before being hired this time. First you have to take a series of tests. If you qualify(not PASS, but QUALIFY) then you're scores are eligible for seven years, if not you can retest in six months.
Once qualified you will be sent to an interview or Realistic Job Preview(RJP) with one of the managers at your potential work location. This can be either one on one or as a group, you will however get to speak to a manager individually. Here you'll be told the specifics of the job, the training etc. You may even be given a tour of the facilities.
At the end of this RJP you're given the option to leave if not interested(of course you're staying). The interviewer will then do a one on one and if he feels you're a fit I guess he tells HR 'yes or no'. I was told its HRs decision to hire, the interviewer just says again "QUALIFIED or NOT QUALIFIED.
If you make it pass that step you are then sent for a medical/drug screening/physical test. I've done several and failed due to high blood pressure issues, but once under control I was QUALIFIED. Its a routine medical/ drug screen however the P/T test varied each time. I know there was situps, lifting a box with differing weights several times, push ups, all kinds of things but not every time, it varied each time.
After all that and you pass depending on the needs of the company you'll get called for training, you'll go to your work location handle all the administrative stuff and then off to training. For me I was lucky I was sent to Miami for three weeks including Memorial Day Weekend.
Good Luck!!!!

Question 1
The main questions were about past experiences in the field.
Overall felt really comfortable. Was greeted by the front office staff and the interview was hosted by two individuals, one the hiring manager and the other another team member. They asked questions about my background and experience with teams in telecom companies. I mostly had independent experience with smaller offices and independent agencies. They seemed to welcome the experience but not sure if my answers were in line with their desires. Will await and see.
