I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at T-Mobile in Sep 2008
Interview
Started with online application that lead to a timed online skills test (math and comprehension). Received a phone interview that was basically checking qualifications which does require that you average atleast 1 year of employment in past jobs. Then we had a panel interview that was very intimidating and required role playing amongst your typical interviewing questions. The interview lasted about an hour and ended with me alone in the room having to write a short essay on why I should be chosen for the position. Now days you are expected to sit beside a top performing rep before the interview to see if you are still interested in the position. Once offered the job I was required to submit to drug testing and a background testing. Training was 6 weeks long and honestly the best time of my career with the company.
It’s a grueling process. Do several interviews before you go in for an actual interview. It’s more like a mixer. Meet a variety of people then do a one on one.
The interview went well, but when they asked about my desired length of stay, I explained that I wanted to stay for a considerable time, but still launch or perhaps grow the company. The interviewer then went on a rant about how they thought they would only stay at this job for a short while, and their enthusiasm seemed to wane.
After completing a phone interview there was an in person interview.There were two people doing the interview one person asked the questions the other took notes. It didn't last long and they were very nice.
