Interview
The interview process gives a realistic expectation of what the job entails. It helps people draw their own conclusions as to whether or not they could handle live channels.
First, you have an interview with one of the hiring team. This is more of an interview where they get to know you.
Within an hour of the first interview, I was given the link to book in for the Technical Interview. This is where you are given a simulation of what it's like to work in chats, phones and tickets. I'm not sure what role the interviewer had, but they were likely a tech support agent.
Don't worry if you get flustered in this round, they make a point of making you stressed and acting as a customer who urgently needs what they're asking for. They want to know how you would handle these situations under pressure. Just take your time and try to add in more conversation to the chat rather than just giving them the answer. This is where I fell down.
The interviewer then called and acted as a frustrated customer who wanted to shut down their site as they weren't getting noticed online. You may also get some loud train noise in another effort to make you more stressed! Before I showed them how to close it, I asked them why they were closing and advised on how they could boost sales and get seen through SEO. The interviewer said that was a good move rather than just showing them how to close it. The final part was an email where you submitted the answer through a Google form. I was asked how to add a new category to a menu
However, I was disappointed that I was so far in the process having put a lot of work and spent a lot of my time preparing for the interviews only to find my application wasn't going ahead. I know it's to find out if you're a good candidate but you have to shoot through a lot of hoops before getting rejected. Getting so far after completing so many steps beforehand gives the candidate the impression they are in with a good chance. Otherwise, a good interview process!
