I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at T-Mobile (Salt Lake City, UT) in May 2014
Interview
Interviewed twice with store managers. They wanted to make sure I was sales type of personality, and even said "this job isn't for everyone." Usually they have people interview with two store managers and have a third interview with the region manager so he can approve to hire new people. They start everyone at the same base pay, so there is no point trying to negotiate. Even if you don't have actual sales experience (like me) just "fake it til you make it" and sell them on you as a sales person.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
When did you have a very difficult customer? How did you deal with it?
It went pretty simple met with two managers and had to answer a couple questions about past sales experiences and after that it wasn’t that bad. But I didn’t end up feeling that good after the interview but I got the job.
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.
