I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at T-Mobile (Orlando, FL) in May 2011
Interview
The first question asked was regarding my job experience. My resume contained pretty good experience in public relations and management experience from eight years in the military. I also had an Associate degree with a 3.61 GPA. Although I did not have actual retail sales experience, I figured it would be enough to get a simple retail sales associate job while I finished my Bachelor's degree. I was wrong. As soon as I mentioned that I did not have actual sales experience, the interviewing manager said he did not feel I was qualified. Maybe he was having a bad day, but an associate degree should show an employer that you are trainable.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What type of job experience do you have that you might be able to bring to T-Mobile?
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.
