Customer Support Specialist
The hiring process for this role is intermediate and can be challenging. HR is very particular about your responses, how you speak, and how you organize your thoughts, so practicing beforehand is recommended.
- Could you please introduce yourself?
Customer Support Representative
The hiring process at Convergys was pretty bad. I applied on a Wednesday and they called me the very next day, Thursday. The recruiter chatted about my resume and job details and we set up an in-person interview for Monday, and they promised an email confirmation. I never got it. Then, on Friday, while I was working, the recruiter called and left a super mad voicemail saying I missed my interview that morning. They said I had until noon to call back with a good excuse, or my application was out. Obviously, I called back and told them THEY messed up the scheduling, didn't send the email, and I wasn't interested in working for a company that botched their hiring like that. Never heard from them again.
- Can you share your experience in customer service?
- What's your definition of good customer service?
Customer Service Representative
This was for a work at home CUSTOMER SERVICE/SALES job. I checked Glassdoor beforehand, but some questions I wasn't expecting since previous interviewers didn't list them or weren't asked them. I included them in my 'interview questions' because they caught me off guard. First, I had to fill out an application online at convergys.com and then complete a computer requirements test by downloading software. Next, a recruiter contacted me for a webcam interview where I answered pre-recorded questions, with no live person. Then, a recruiter called for a phone 'pre-interview' to go over my resume and availability. We then scheduled an 'official interview' for the next day, where I'd be asked technical and behavioral questions. After the official interview, I was offered the job. They said I'd get a drug screen and background check, followed by an official job offer, and then requirements for a headset, USB flash drive, and monitor size. Two days before training, I'd receive the training class instructions. It's a very thorough process for a remote job with many steps, but if you're not doing drugs, have no arrests, and have the required tech, you can get it.
- Tell me about minimizing a window.
- Can you explain the difference between a modem and a router?
- Describe a time you helped someone troubleshoot a technical issue (at work or home).
