In the second interview the manager came in and said I have 2 questions... "What was a recent piece of technology that you added to your life and how has it affected it?" and "When have you struggled with technology and how did you overcome the obstacle?"
The questions are fairly standard and there was nothing that popped out as unusual or overly difficult. In a customer service position you can expect to be asked to role play a difficult call. (They're gauging how pleasant you are, not how knowledgeable you are!) The only question that sort of stood out to me was when I was asked if I had ever been convicted or plead guilty to anything. I answered no honestly, and the interviewer asked me about three more times, as if probing to see if I'd "crack" under the pressure. You will have to pass a criminal background check. It made me feel uncomfortable. Aside from that, it's all pretty standard.
Have you ever worked before?
Tell me about yourself and describe previous job description
1) Tell me about a time when you demonstrated great customer service by promoting or up selling a product or service the customer may not have otherwise considered? What specifically did the customer come in to buy and what were you able to up sell to him/her? 2) Describe a time when you were able to make a significant contribution to a team effort, goal or objective.
What would coworkers say you could improve on?
Are you willing to work nights or weekends?
Describe how you would handle a supervisor giving you advice to handle future calls
I had to answer questions like: What would I do if my power went out, What would I do if I didn't immediately know how to solve a customers problem? What did I do to calm down an irate customer? And at what point in time did I have to sell something to a customer. All of my responses had to be recorded. Very simple, and I hope training will be okay. I will update to speak about that after it's over.
I was asked what made want to work at PNC, my experience with banking, how would I handle various customers coming into the branch at the time be it good or bad and my approach with B2B sales.
