Customer Service Representative at T-Mobile

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Charleston, SC May 2010 – Reviewed Jul 12, 2010

Interview Details – I began by filling out the application online. BE AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE ON PREVIOUS EMPLOYMENT DATES!!!!!!! Make sure the dates on your resume match this application as well!!! Then i continued to a skills/personality/IQ intelligence test. Also a series of questions and a simulated program that gave specific scenarios and a 'what would you do in this situation' test. THEN about two weeks later a phone interview. Make sure you emphasize how flexible you are because the shifts change every six months. No questions asked. It is all based on your rankings. I passed that and scheduled an interview for two weeks after that. At the interview I was being watched the second i walked through the door. Be there at least 15 mins early, but not too early. bring your resume and dress professionally. After that i was asked in to be interviewed by one of the senior business managers. I then moved to be interviewed by one of the Floor managers. Then he brought me up to listen in on phone calls for thirty minutes, just to make sure it was for me. I thought it was, so he then conducted another interview. I then went downstairs for another interview by one of the HR members and he offered me the job. He then continued to say that i had to pass a background test. Not only does this include a criminal background screening, but also residential, employment, and education test. It is crazy but bear with it. The company they use is HireRight. they are disorganized, unprofessional, and a pain in the ass. But finally it all turned out ok.

Interview Details – After filling out an application online (consisted of personal info, resume, skills and personality test) I got a call a couple days later with and did a phone interview. I was then asked to come in for the initial interview. At the call center I sat and listened to a rep on the phone (supervised a call) for about 30 minutes. I then did a face to face interview with a manager, then another with a superviser. Overall I thought it went well but 3 days later got an email stating i didnt get the position and had to wait a year to apply again [as if!].

Met with leadership for the onsite interview, immediately after did side by side and then filled out some forms for HR and the background check.

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Oakland, ME Dec 2009 – Reviewed Feb 15, 2010

Interview Details – First step was taking the online assessment. Once passed the assessment I was called to set-up a phone interview. Had the phone interview within a few days of the first phone call. The 1:1 interview was the next week. I met with leadership briefly, then was escorted to an employee to sit and listen to calls for an hour. I was escorted to a conference room where the interview continued. I was called back that afternoon for a "final interview" the following day. I met with a Team Manager, and he interviewed me for about 30-45 minutes. The following week I was called back and informed that I made it to the next process of the background checks. I filled out the form online. Once the information was verified I was called with an offer and accepted. I started my first day 2 weeks later.

Interview Question – How to help an fellow co-worker if they are struggling with their job.   View Answer

Negotiation Details – there was no negotiation opportunity. ask about the opportunities to negotiate during the final interview. I had learned the old school approach of waiting until the offer to discuss salaries. The final offer was given by a employee in the Human Resources Department that did not have the ability to negotiate.

No Offer – Interviewed in Overland Park, KS Feb 2009 – Reviewed Feb 10, 2010

Interview Details – I first applied for this position on Jan 12th (2009). On Feb 5th I registered with a Kansas Workforce Center and reapplied for the position through the workforce center. I received an e-mail asking me to take two assessment tests online. I don't remember what these tests were anymore, although one of them was titled "T-Mobile Contact Center Virtual Scenario", so I believe I responded to some virtual customer calls (I think they were presented in audio).

I took my assessment tests on Feb 6th, the day after my second application. Just after I completed the assessments, I received a phone call requesting a telephone interview. They set my phone interview for Feb 17th, now 11 days away. Meanwhile, I was asked to fill out a job application online. The personal references section instructed us to list only supervisors, and I had to come up with two names.

The day after my phone interview, I received an E-mail stating "we have identified other candidates who more closely meet our requirements at the present time". I heard nothing further from T-Mobile.

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Nashville, TN Jan 2010 – Reviewed Jan 17, 2010

Interview Details – I applied online by sbmitting my resume. After they reviewed my resume I was able to take a skills and persoality test online. The test is a smulation of call center calls on the spot. The personality test is just that and it takes a while. After that I spoke with a rep over the phone that checked my availability and then scheduled my phone interview for the next Monday - I got the call on a Friday. After the phone interview they set up an in person interview. This lasted about an hour. You have to give scenarios about hoe you handle situations. It was difficult. Next is a background check and then offer.

Interview Question – Tell me about a time when you were unsuccessful?   Answer Question

No Offer – Interviewed in Allentown, PA Sep 2009 – Reviewed Oct 5, 2009

Interview Details – First, I took an easy assessment test with questions like can you sit at a desk for a full shift taking calls. Then I took a long, like 45 min. to an hour, skills and math test. You had to answer mock calls and handle customer problems in a call-center environment. It was fairly easy, but you should be prepared to write information down on paper quickly before entering it into the computer. The math problems were sometimes complex - a lot of percentages and fractions, but manageable. Finally, you have to answer pages and pages of personality questions. You won't have to think, but you will have to continue to concentrate for a long time.

I just filled out a complex background history, it was comprehensive - you will need access to information (address, phone number, dates of employment, supervisor's name and title, ect...)

I just scheduled a phone interview - it will be next week.

No Offer – Interviewed in Lenexa, KS Aug 2009 – Reviewed Aug 3, 2009

Interview Details – I applied on the t-mobile website for a call center customer service position. After completing the online application I was sent a link to a testing site by previsor.com. The test consisted of a 4 calls in a virtual call center. It was very awkward and not realistic. I was expected to field the 4 calls on the spot - without any training. Every action was timed, typing speed and accuracy was evaluated, and after the four calls there was a 40 question survey and then another 40 question survey.
