Interview
The hiring process at At&t Wireless is a little more intense than I had previoulsy anticipated. I filled out the application on-line then played the waiting game. I checked almost everyday to see if anything in my "status" had changed. One day out of the blue I received a call from a lady in Puerto Rico and it was a preliminary interview for At&t. She just basically asked me the same question that pretty much every other interviewer had asked "how have you went above and beyond for a customer?", I answered with a specific scenario and even names, and she told me that the hiring manager in my area will be contacting me the next day. He called @ 3pm and basically he was explaining the benefits and perks of working for At&t (which I thought were fabulous) and also what they were looking for in an SSR. This went extremely well, and he said he would contact me within the next couple days; it wasn't until a whole week and a half that I heard back from him wanting me to go in for an interview at the store with the Store Manager. I arrived early to my interview (they really value timeliness) and waited for the Manager. He was very nice and polite, but the interview was pretty unorthodox. He asked questions to get an insight on my personality as opposed to what I had previously done. This went well, and I received a call from another Hiring Manager; she told me the Manager was higly interested in offereing me the position but before she gave me the offer I had to verify some information. I verified the information and they sent me an offer letter (which I was very satisfied with), and I started the background check with HireRight, took a drug test within 48 hours, and now I'm waiting on them for the accomodation information for the training (which is out of state). Overall the experience was very positive as I got to work with a group of very professional individuals that knew what they were doing.
Interview questions [1]

The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at AT&T in Mar 2011
Interview
There were two phone interviews followed by one in person interview. The phone interviews were given by two different people and the questions were similar. The first phone interview seems designed to feel out the background and mentality of the applicant. The following phone interview incorporated more questions about sales. The final in person interview (via Skype for me) asked some specific questions related to the program and the products offered by AT&T, making this interview seem more like a memory test.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AT&T (Austin, TX) in Oct 2010
Interview
They took me into what looked like a storage room to hold the interview. I was asked about all of my former employers, what I did there, what I liked about it, what i didnt like about it, and why I left. They also asked situational questions like "tell me about a time that you went above and beyond for a customer" and "tell me about your best sales experience" as well as questions like "what would you do if your were on the phone with a customer who didn't agree with one of our policies" and one question that stuck out was "tell me what you think the hardest part of this job will be for you" The interviewing supervisor even through out a few kuss words in the interview telling me that "cusotmers call in a *b-word*" and things along those lines, i found that very strange. They told me that they would call me and let me know if i had the job or not, which at the time i thought was a no, but they called about 2 days later telling me that i had the job.
