Call Center Interviews – Know What to Expect
What can you expect in call center interviews? What makes a good call center agent? Know what the interviewer is looking for in the call center interview and prepare to win that call center job.
Call Center Competencies
First to consider in call center interviews are the competencies that the successful candidate requires. These are the knowledge, skills and ability needed to successfully perform in the job. Knowledge and skills would include technical expertise in terms of the company’s products and services and the call center system including computers and software applications, CRM databases and the telephony systems that the company uses.
Abilities that have been identified as contributing to the success of a call center agent include problem-solving, customer-service orientation, decision-making, learning ability and stress-tolerance. The current trend is to use behavioral questions to explore these competencies, questions that ask the candidate to describe how they behaved in relevant situations in the past. A typical behavioral question is, “Tell me about a time you had to deal with a complex problem from a customer, what did you do?”
Communication Skills
Essential to a call center agent position is the ability to speak clearly and articulately and, very importantly, to listen actively. Communication skills will begin to be assessed during the initial telephonic contact. The candidate’s manner, phone etiquette and language and grammar skills will all be under scrutiny. This evaluation will continue during the call center interview. Be aware of the tone of your voice and the words you use. Listen carefully and rephrase questions to check that you have understood what the interviewer is asking.
Motivational Fit
Employees in call centers commonly fail to perform because they don’t like the job tasks and the work environment and not because they lack the ability to do the job. Motivational fit is whether the candidate will find the job satisfying and the environment one in which he or she wants to work. Turnover in call centers is high and this is mostly attributed to job dissatisfaction rather than a lack of skills. Therefore as well as determining what a candidate can do (skills and ability) the call center interview will set out to determine the candidate’s motivation to do the job.
Questions that commonly explore motivational fit center a round the characteristics of the job and the environment. Depending on these, motivational fit questions include those that explore the candidate’s experience and satisfaction in working independently or as part of a team, working for a fixed income or on a commission basis, working on different priorities and tasks or adhering strictly to a fixed routine, receiving close support and supervision or having to motivate and monitor oneself. Questions will be structured along the lines of a behavioral question, for example: “Tell me about a time you had to work as part of a team. How satisfied were you with that and why?”
The best candidates will think in advance about these selection criteria and prepare their interview answers and questions. The better prepared you are, the more confident you will be and confidence is a key ingredient of call center interview success!

What are your favorite Pac quotes?
Please, i dont want something like “I ain’t a killa but don’t push me-revenge is like the sweetest joy next to gettin pussy” or “I bet you got it twisted you don’t know who to trust So many playa hating n!**az tryin to sound like us” (one of my favorites)
But I need more of motivational or inspiring lyrics such as “No matter how hard it gets, stick ya chest out, keep ya head up and handle it” (Me Against the World) or a simple quote like “If you can’t find something to live for, you best find something to die for” or “only God can judge me”
it doesn’t have to be long or complicated but it has to be meaningful

Okay these are from the songs of his that really grabs my attention personaly.
Quote 1-”We gotta start makin’ changes
learn to see me as a brother instead of 2 distant strangers
and that’s how it’s supposed to be”
Meaning 1- he’s saying that people have to make changes and learn to see eveyone as their own brother/sister..(have love for everyone even if there a stranger) and then he goes into (thats the way it should be)
Quote 2- “To live my life as an outlaw all along
Remain strong in this planet full of playa haters
In times of danger don’t freeze time to be a G” (these are two/three parts of a song)
meaning 2- to live as somone who can brake the rules..and make my dreams come true..and to stay strong..even if people are against me..in times of danger..dont hide/run/snitch stand up and be strong and forcefull
Quote 3-don’t be bad and play the game

oh by the way the poem..that that comment said is real good comment
here’s the tupac poem
Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature’s law is wrong it learned to walk with out having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping it’s dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared.
