T-Mobile holding job fair today for store opening soon

T-Mobile will open a new store in Texarkana in January and is holding a job fair from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today at the Texarkana, Texas, Convention Center, located at the Hilton Garden Inn, 2910 S. Cowhorn Creek Road. The new store, to be located at 2004 St. Michael Drive, Texarkana, Texas, needs to be staffed.

"We need eight customer-focused employees, including a full-time retail store manager, a full-time retail associate manager and full or part-time mobile associates," said Steve Carleson, company spokesperson. "We provide full-time paid training, competitive wages and unmatched benefits, like special employee phone plans, generous paid time off, tuition assistance, medical and dental coverage, a great company-matched 401(k) plan, advanced training and serious career growth."

T-Mobile is looking for experience.

"For the mobile associate role, we're looking for at least 6 months of retail sales experience," said Carlson. "Applicants for retail associate manager should have 1-3 years of sales and sales management experience, and retail store managers should have at least 3 years of sales management experience with a customer-focused retailer. We prefer applicants for the retail store manager role to have experience leading more than one store or managing several departments simultaneously."

T-Mobile activated its nationwide 5G network earlier this month. Carlson describes the benefits of 5G technology this way:

"T-Mobile's 5G on 600 MHz provides faster speeds and better coverage indoors. On average, T-Mobile customers with a 600 MHz 5G phone should see a 20% boost in download speeds on top of what T-Mobile's LTE network delivers, and with the New T-Mobile they can expect that to get exponentially faster over time, just like we saw when 4G was first introduced. Low-band spectrum, like 600 MHz, can cover hundreds of square miles from a single cell site," he said.
