Later, I had another interview with a disctrict manager. It cosnisted of 4 behavioral questiosn that were similiar to the ones asked in the initial interview.

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at T-Mobile (Concord, CA) in Nov 2010
Interview
Initial phone interview went well. Meeting with recruiter started off well, but slowly went off the cliff. Numerous questions were asked about handling employee situations in a retail environment (which I had not been a part of since college--20 yrs. ago) Think they were looking for someone closer to the age of what is perceived to be their target smart phone client. Mentioned that I use Mac & PC, as well as Blackberry, and was also T-Mobile client. Got the don't call us we'll call you handshake and I knew nothing would become of it. Whenever, I visit a T-Mobile store to check on new phones or accessories, I look at how the stores are run and see why they are being purchased by AT&T.

Question 1
You have a problem employee that you must fire as soon as possible and you have to change the store out for a brand new promotion the next day. Would you fire the employee first or wait until the store closed and put up the new promotional material?
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at T-Mobile (Bellevue, WA) in Apr 2011
Interview
I had a phone screen and then 6 1:1 interviews 2 weeks later. The interviews were back-to-back and I thought they went very well. I stumbled on one question: If you worked for a TV manufacturer and had to build a better remote control, how would you proceed? I forgot to mention that I would seek input from users/customers.
