Interview
After the inital screening, several phone interviews were set up with various senior level managers who stated that theyt would be recommending me for the job. After the fianl interview with the hiring manager, he said that my candidacy looked good and I should expect to hear back from him in 2 to 3 weeks. When I called back in 4 weeks - he mentioned that the position was being filled by an internal candidate due to changes in the landline org.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Of the technologies available today, is there one that you wished you had 10 years ago and how would you have used it to improve the outcome?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AT&T in Jun 2010
Interview
I started by filling out the application online. Then got an e-mail to complete the 50 question personality/character online test. About 2-3 week later I got a call from the recruiter to complete the phone interview. During the phone interview, I was asked two questions - 1) when was a time that you were able to solve a problem with a customer? 2) What techniques do you use to make a customer comfortable during a sale? For the first question, they basically want to hear that "there is a solution to every problem, especially when dealing with customers"--customer is always right! Then the recruiter said that he would forward my application to the local store manager, who would set up a one on one face to face interview. The store manager asks you a lot of questions. Basically they want to hear that you are looking for a career rather then a job. So tell them CAREER! They also want to know what are your strong points. You got to sell yourself, especially since you are applying for a sales job. Then after the interview was over, I got a call from the original recruiter about one and half weeks later; he told me that I got the job contingent on passing the drug screen and background check. Going through the background check and drug screen took about two to three weeks. Once that was completed, I started the one month training course.

Interview
Had a quick interview at an authorized retailer. Came in with my resume. Sat down with the Manager and asked me a few questions about cell phones, why I was interested in sales, and about my past job experience. They seemed to like me, and called me later on that afternoon to offer me the job.
