I had to end the interview, because they wanted a list of every single job I had in the last seven years, which was quite a lot since I work on project based contracts and my downtime included temp jobs until my next offer. This would have taken over 30 minutes. I will continue the interview with an email from TDs in writing requesting every listing of non-relevant jobs. They should have specified this in writing before the interview.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
For every position, they use the STAR Method for interviews. They'll ask for situational examples, like when you went the extra mile for a customer or handled an objection. They also do a mock phone call where the hiring manager acts as a customer trying to cancel service for a better deal elsewhere. You'll be left alone in the room with a phone and need to turn the call into a sale by asking the right questions and offering a better TDS plan. Make sure to mention their computer problems and offer the anti-virus, then ask for the sale!
