      Support Advisor (Remote East Canada) Interview

      Dec 1, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Shopify

      Interview

      1. Apply online - The application form was extremely long: answer a sample email, typing test, and answer 3 questions. 2. I was emailed about 1 week after to set up a Phone interview. This was actually Google Meet Screen, but I dialed in originally. My laptop didn't show video, but the recruiter said time was tight, and that she would reschedule. I picked a super early time the next day and met with a recruiter in Ireland. Super nice guy. In a few hours (end of day) I got an email telling me to scheduled and to prepare for Technological Interview. - They provide a complete package explaining what the role does, the hours (11-7, or 7-3) with alternating weekends. - The packaged explained it would pay 42.5K with 5K stock bonds. - Position is fully remote. 2. Technological Interview Gauntlet (1 hour). Once I got the email, they sent a 7-pg package to prepare you for the interview: - They tell you to build a test site (I recommend you do this too, to get familiar) - They tell you how to talk (mimic customer tone, be empathetic, and explain things in your own words). - They provide some test exercises and a sample chat.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1. Google Video Meet Screening: Super casual chat with a recruiter in Ireland. He was very pleasant and polite. Just be positive, upbeat, and relate what you do to Shopify Support. (i) Why do you want to work for Shopify? (ii) What do you do in your current role? 2. Gauntlet: Very tricky at least for me. I think this is where I messed up, because of nerves and not being able to resolve the issues quick enough. The Recruiter posed a lot of side questions in the chats that prevented me from answering the main questions in a timely manner. 10 Minutes for each chat, but these will be done at the same time. Pay attention to both chats, gage them interpersonally briefly, and recommend solutions. (i) Chat 1: "How do I add Contact Information to Main Menu'? (Customer has a Teapot Store, and will be trying to catch a bus in 10 minutes) (ii) Chat 2: "How do I add a shipping rate for all local orders?" (Customer is based in Vancouver, operates a Plus Sized Female Clothing store and wants to apply the rates for local deliveries". The recruiter then asked for feedback on these two chats and gave me feedback on how to improve. Commented on what she liked, and addressed how I could improve. (iii) Phone Chat: Customer wants to delete their store. The Customer has lost motivation to keep up their store. Try to convince them to stay and mention that Shopify has resources, and can help them improve their store. Bring up Facebook Marketing. After the phone screen the interviewer gave me feedback on what they liked, and provided me feedback on how to improve the answer and approach with the customer.

      Hi, thank you for posting about your experience here! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed chatting with our Recruitment team. Our Technical Interview is essentially a role-play of what your daily workflow would be like were you to accept the position here. You will be asked a variety of different questions by our merchants, no two days are the same! It's important to be able to multi-task and think quickly to find a resolution, so the technical part of the interview is designed to be a little like a stress test. There will be times in the Support Advisor role where you will need to chat with our merchant, but also check in with your own team to help out there too. There will also be times when you don't know the answer or have all the information. That is ok! There will constantly be more information to learn and updates to revise, so you will learn how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. This is where you will need to use your resources (our Help Docs have over 1000 pages of information on how to use the admin) to find the best way to help. Thank you again for leaving a detailed review, I'm sure other candidates here will find this very informative! Best of luck if you decide to apply again in the future.
