Retail Sales Consultant at AT&T Wireless

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in San Antonio, TX Dec 2011 – Reviewed Jan 30, 2013

Interview Details – I applied online. Contacted the store manage by going into store, getting her card, and calling her. Let her know that I was extremely interested. Then, I received a call from HR letting me know I had an interview. The first interview was with the regional hiring consultant, and he just asked a series of specific questions/problems, where I had to relate personal life experiences to, and how I found an answer/solution. Then I was called back for a second interview by the store manager, and it was very similar to the first. I then was told that I had the job, and that I would be flying to and from my town to Dallas, TX for 4 weeks for training.

Interview Question – How, in the past, have you reacted when someone brings up a topic of conversation that requires you to display much compassion/sympathy for them?   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – I was able to negotiate a very small amount. I would try to get $12/hr starting pay. (may not sound like a lot but you get raises very often and you also make around $1500 or more in commission per month.

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Mount Pocono, PA Dec 2009 – Reviewed Jan 19, 2013

Interview Details – This was back in 2007. Be advised at&t changes policies like newborns need diaper changes. Referred by a friend of the RSM. Online application with a 150 question personality test(standard common sense questions to make sure you're not crazy)One in-person interview with standard questions such as strengths and weaknesses, how you would handle customer questions and personalities, and questions about how you worked yourself out of difficult customer situations at past jobs

Interview Question – There were a few strength and weaknesses questions to answer and just like any other interview you have to be careful not to stick your foot in your mouth or be to cocky.   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – Took about a week. Got a phone call from HR with the offer and to schedule drug screening and background checks. Signed offer letter which is pretty much non-negotiable because its a union job with set pay rates

Interview Details – I was hired in a crash group outside of the normal pattern. I had been applying for any AT&T job I saw, and received two phone interviews followed by a hiring manager interview. Everything was pretty standard. My second in person interview was with the store's assistant manager and the district manager, since the store I was being hired in to had lost it's manager and had not had the new manager installed yet.

Interview Question – The usual customer service based questions about best/worst experiences and how you handled them.   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – Union contract did not allow for negotiating - I was offered with all salary stated.

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Oklahoma City, OK Feb 2011 – Reviewed Nov 11, 2012

Interview Details – I applied online. I received a phone call about a week after that for a telephone interview. After the telephone interview I received another phone calling to schedule an interview with the hiring manager. I spoke to a HR professional and my Area Sales Manager. Both were pretty easy interviews. Then after about another week later I was offered the job. I had to submit to an extensive background check. They verified everything and if they couldn't get a hold of a previous employer I had to provide W2s.

Interview Question – They wanted to know how I responded to a situation with irate customers in the past.   Answer Question
