I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at T-Mobile (Santa Barbara, CA) in Sept 2013
Interview
I got recommended by a T-Mobile employee. Sent me an email for the recommendation, filled out the application on-line and got called within 2 weeks for an interview. Got interviewed for a second time by an assistant manager. Went through a month long training. The first two weeks of training were at another location via the web. The following two weeks I was trained on the sales floor.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you had to do something you didn't want to do a component of your job. 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.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at T-Mobile in June 2025
Interview
They have a packet of 6-8 behavioral and situational questions
Script style (they cannot help with questions, only repeat the question if asked)
Panel style with 3 managers
They really care about your ability to meet sales goals and what your plan is to meet those goals
