I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at T-Mobile (Phoenix, AZ) in May 2014
Interview
One on one and very straightforward. They've got a packet that they go through with you, asking mostly for examples or scenarios of moments you dealt with: a great customer, a difficult customer, a time you ever had to be a leader, honestly questions you would expect in any sales interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time that you had to deal with a difficult customer; What was the situation and how did you handle it?
They didn't specify what they wanted, claiming a flexible schedule and really emphasizing hiring women, and the whole point is not to check all the boxes. I only asked for Sundays off, and they said they specifically needed me for those days. However, there was no indication in the application that they would specify this; otherwise, I wouldn't have applied. So, needless to say, I didn't get the job because I wasn't willing to compromise. I mean, if none of that matters to you, then I'm sure you can get the job.
