CALL CENTER INTERVIEW CHEATS (PART 2) 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago Karma: 0  
PREPARATION
There is no way you can accurately predict the questions that will be asked in an interview, but you can be ready and prepared by thinking about the factors that might concern an interviewer or employer before the interview.
Create your own script
Prepare a script that includes the information you want to convey.
Begin by talking about yourself like your past experiences and proven success.
THEN (if you can) MEMORIZE YOUR SCRIPT BY HEART!
Provide a 2-minute SCRIPT outlining work-related activities that will highlight your abilities.
Omit personal information unless asked otherwise.
Think of something you have accomplished that you are most proud of and condense it in 2 sentences.
Straight to the point and always do straight eye contact.
Practice!
Practice with your script until you feel confident about what you want to emphasize in your statement.
Your script should help you stay on track, but you shouldn't memorize it per se as in like for the sake of memorizing it MEMORIZE YOUR SCRIPT BY HEART as if it's all comes naturally-- you don't want to sound stiff and rehearsed.
It should sound natural and conversational.
DO NOT FORCE THE ACCENT! SPEAK IN NEUTRAL ENGLISH!
Speak by phrase and not one word at a time. Blend your words and use inflections.
Be aware of of vowel sound like "ea" sound like bag (beag),the soft and hard "th" , the soft t like better (bedder),P and F, and B and V.
KISS KEEP IT SHORT AND SIMPLE (keep it short and simple) BE CLEAR
Limit your answers to 2-3 minutes per question unless asked to give more details.
When you are speaking in the interview, remember to speak in a clear and concise way.
Use short sentences and deliver them in a slow, patient manner.

BE SPECIFIC
Include concrete, quantifiable data. Provide stories of accomplishments when discussing your strengths.

KNOW YOURSELF
What are your skills and abilities? Strengths? Your previous jobs, accomplishments, trainings, etc.
They ask stuff about what you have done, why do you want this job, what are your strengths and weaknesses.
If you're applying for a job at a call center and are nervous about the interview, you might be wondering what kind of questions you'll be asked. Below are possible questions that you'll probably encounter. REMEMBER you're not gonna get them all. Maybe 3-4 questions will be asked to you during the interviews.

What I did was I searched on the Internet about possible questions during interviews and from those I created my own script.

These are some of the best websites: http://www.collegegrad.com/jobsearch/Mastering-the-Interview/Ten-Tough-Interview-Questions-and-Ten-Great-Answers/ http://www.wisebread.com/how-to-answer-23-of-the-most-common-interview-questions http://jobsearch.about.com/od/interviewquestionsanswers/a/interviewquest.htm http://www.bspcn.com/2007/08/24/10-killer-job-interview-questions-and-answers/ http://www.best-job-interview.com/job-interview-answers.html

The recruitment process for new call center agents may include (but is not limited to) the following:
Screening – this stage determines the voice quality over the phone and how the applicant responds to the call;
Initial Interview – conducted by the company human resource department or another outsource staffing firm to test the speaking skills, attitude and how confident the applicant responds to questions;
Written Exam– this includes aptitude tests, computer-based call simulations and emotional quality (EQ) or aptitude tests; and
Final Interview – to assess customer service, technical, or sales skills.

Always remember to be confident and you will be fine!

COMMON INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
Tell Me About Yourself?
This is really one of the more difficult questions to answer, because it is not specific. Do not be tempted to tell your life story, but concentrate on your education and work experience.
Though one could answer this open-ended question in a myriad of ways, the key to answering this question or any other interview question is to offer a response that supports your career objective. This means that you shouldn't respond with comments about your hobbies, spouse, or extra curricular activities. Trust me, interviewers aren't interested.
What the interviewer really wants is a quick summary of your skills and why you’re the best candidate for this position. What have you done to prepare yourself? Do you have Call Center Training? What are your skills?

“Tell me about yourself” does not mean tell me everything. Just tell me what makes you the best.
If you are first timer :
Answers:

My name is Jerwin Balenton I graduated....blah blah blah..(short description of your course)
I'm an ambitious, self-motivated person and I'm very happy in my life right now because I was able to finish my education despite all the hardships and financial setbacks. Now,I'm looking for a career because I feel I've achieved all of the goals I set out for myself to finish my study , four years ago.

I've still got a strong appetite for success and I'm looking for a job that will provide fresh challenges and rewards . A job that matches my qualifications and skills. and call center jobs ranks highly on the list of my ideal jobs...I' know that I'm ready for this kind of job because one of your employee referred me here and he told me that I would do well in this field and that I could make a big difference in your company. that's why I'm confident I would be a great addition to your team."

Sometimes the interviewer asks a follow up questions like: "So, what are your skills?" So you can say like

" I am an excellent communicator both verbal and written. I am people oriented. I have a full working knowledge of computer basics. I can do multitasking and an ability to learn and apply procedures quickly."

" I have the right combination of skills and experience for this job. I also bring the additional quality of strong analytical and problem solving ability. I sincerely believe I am the right person for this job and for this company"
Remember and always keep this in mind that those are the primary skills needed by a call center agent.

How do you think you will compensate for your lack of experience?

Answers:
I have a willingness to try new things, and at that, I’m a quick learner. My resume only reflects my work-related experiences, but I have an array of experiences outside of my work life that I can draw from. If anything, my fresh take on the new material will give me an advantage in formulating never-tried-before methods.”

Emphasize you are a quick and hard-working learner. If you have other relevant experience that has not yet been discussed, introduce them to the interviewer at this time.
Try not to get uncomfortable when an interviewer points out your lack of experience; rather, compliment the interviewer for asking:
"That's a great question, Michael, and I am delighted you asked." Then, move on to build your case!
