I was originally working for an Authorized Reseller of T-Mobile products but was left without a job after some incredible (and irrelevant) circumstances. It was at this point that I applied to T-Mobile for a position via their website. Months went by and I didn't hear a word from T-Mobile, at the time I was desperate for work and I wound up taking an offer from another company. It was while working at this company that T-Mobile would finally contact me. I was working as a Sales Associate with a competing Wireless Provider and was less than happy with the experience. Out-of-the-blue, nearly a year after applying for the position, T-Mobile sent me an email inquiring if I was still interested in a job. I stated that I was and began a correspondence with a hiring representative. Apparently T-Mobile determines if someone is qualified to work in the company and THEN tries to find an opening for that person, unless a store is in immediate need in which the store looks through the list of semi-qualified applicants and makes a selection of candidates to interview. In any case the hiring representative first interviewed me over the phone- shortly thereafter they set me up with several different store managers for over-the-phone interviews. After several one-time phone interviews one of the managers wanted an in-person interview. The In Person interview consisted of me sitting across a desk from my future manager and another store manager. They proceeded to ask me a variety of very typical and expected interview questions. After the interview I had a final phone interview with a manager from yet another store. Within a week of that final interview I was contacted by one of the managers present at the in-person interview and they offered me a position ABOVE the position that I had applied for. I accepted.
