The hiring process at AT&T takes an average of 30 days when considering 2 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Sales Representative had the quickest hiring process (on average 30 days), whereas Sales Representative roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 30 days).
The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AT&T (Commerce Township, MI) in Oct 2009
Interview
Getting to the interview after applying was the part that took the longest, wanna say around 7-8 months (only due to lack of work and lack of hiring) The Interview process was long and tedious, but not difficult. For the most part they wanna ,make sure you are competent and can function in a fast paced environment and think on your toes as things change constantly while in the field.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why should AT&T hire you, what sets you aside from the next applicant to walk through the door?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AT&T (Oklahoma City, OK) in Jun 2010
Interview
The interview process was relatively easy, it was just a drawn out process. I applied online, and received a call about a week later, asking me to come in to take a test. The test was basic customer service things, typing, then a simulation of taking calls. Overall, if you have worked customer service before, its not too bad. Then you are scheduled then, (based on your test scores) for an interview (if you pass). I was scheduled for an interview, it was about 2 weeks later. The interview was simple, they ask a lot of questions about customer service, a time you worked customer service and it was stressful...etc. Typical interview questions. They will run a background check, they are very thorough with checking references/previous employers, and there is a mandatory urine drug test.

Question 1
What was a time that you had to speak with an upset customer, and what did you to solve their issue?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at AT&T (Saco, ME) in Jun 2009
Interview
In order to get in the door you need to know someone, random candidates rarely are accepted. I had communication with an employee who was a vendor going from business to business, he became a store manager and recruited me. I then was called by the hiring manager, was offered an interview, interviewed, then was sent for a 4 week training class out of state. All expenses were paid.
