Technical Behavioral Presentation
The hiring process starts online with a personality and skills test. It's best to be honest on these. Then, there's a quick phone interview to confirm your interest and check basic requirements like commute. After that, you'll have a 1:1 interview. Since many District Managers are new due to high turnover, focus your conversation on selling wireless phones, then add in accessories, customer support, and extended warranties. Stick to these topics, and you'll likely get hired immediately. Expect questions like 'Tell me about a time you couldn't help someone,' where you should invent a positive outcome where you still found a solution for their needs. This usually works with new DMs.

I had a one-on-one interview with the District Manager for an assistant manager role, even though I was previously a Store Manager. The Store Manager was also present when not busy with customers. The interview was pretty standard, but any questions I asked about the ASM job were answered with details about the SM position. I got the impression the company, or at least this district, practices micromanagement extensively. This made me feel overqualified, even for a SM role. The DM mentioned they need to approve every hire a SM is interested in and require SMs to work a minimum of 52 hours a week, 6 days a week, because stores perform best with the SM present. They suggested I could start with 5 and a half days as an ASM given my experience. The interview ended with the DM saying they'd get back to me the next day, but they didn't. After four days, I called the SM, and an associate told me the SM was busy, and they'd take a message. I was ignored again after that, leading me to decide this wasn't a place I wanted to work given their interviewing practices. I believe someone without prior SM experience would be best suited for a SM role there.

So I applied online and then had an interview with the District Manager. They hired me as an Assistant Manager, but I still had to interview with the Regional Human Resources Manager (RHRM) and the Regional Sales Manager (RM). I heard back from the RHRM within two weeks and the RM about a week after that. The first interview also included paperwork for a background check, which took about a week to clear. Once that was back and I finished some online paperwork, I started working.
