      Phoenix, AZ
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at American Express (Phoenix, AZ) in May 2018

      Interview

      This interview was what is called a "round robin" interview. You will be interviewing with the travel managers as well as all travel team leads. So each part will be either with two team leads or one team lead and one manager. So each part with two people. There were four parts, all different questions.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Part one was primarily about how past experience related to this position. Part two was about customer service and customer service scenarios. Part three was role playing; you are the travel agent, one manager or team lead is the customer calling in. Part four basically went over benefits and what you are looking for in a new company.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at American Express

      Interview

      Phone interview with recruiter and an in person interview. It wasn't the interview that was an issue. It was how she lied about the salary. The other issue was the background check. I provided tons of information and they shipped it to some company in Mexico for confirmation.

      Question 1
