what are the usual questions of the employer when applying for call center agent or technical support rep.?
Favorite Answer
If I remember right, they gave me some type of scenario of a customer calling in saying his internet stopped working, then they asked what’s the very first thing I would say. I said how long has it not been working… They got upset. Apparently I was supposed to say something like “Well, I’m very sorry to hear that your internet stopped working, I’ll do my best to get this back up and running for you ok?” Stuff like that. More kissing the customers but and offering assurance of help.
Here are some random tips incase they ask you anything.
Re-state customer issue
Show empathy for customers problem
Offer assurance of help
Use customers name through-out call
Introduce yourself at beginning of call
Work at customers pace
Use pleasantries like please and thankyou and “we” and “let’s” statements like “let’s turn your phone off”. It shows the customer that you’re working together as a team isntead of you bossing the customer around ordering him or her to do things.
Use all your tools/resources available.
That’s all I can think of for now. Don’t worry though, call centers tend to take anyone in sight due to the high turnover of employees. If you’re human, they can train you!
Good luck and hope you get the job!
