      Customer Support Representative Interview

      13 Feb 2018
      Anonymous employee
      Saint Louis, MO
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Block (Saint Louis, MO) in Jan 2016

      Interview

      The interview process took about 3 weeks total. It begins with a written interview, then a phone screen, followed by an in person interview (mine was a group interview, but I'm not sure how often they do those now). The written portion was pretty simple. Mine was explaining how to make scrambled eggs to someone over email and answering what my customer service philosophy. The phone portion was also pretty basic. I again was asked my customer service philosophy and then role played a phone call. That role play was easy, we went over the details before hand so even if you have no idea what Square does, the answers are given to you. It's less about answering correctly than how you sound on the phone. Lastly I had a group interview, which I don't think they do as often anymore. Mine was in January 2016 so things have changed since then. My group was about 30 people who were broken up into groups of 5-6. From there 5 different leads rotated in asking pretty basic interview questions (Tell us about a time you faced challenges with a coworker, tell us about a time you solved a difficult problem, ect.). After the group interview, I think it was about 5-7 days before I heard back that I got the job.

      Application

      I interviewed at Block

      Interview

      The entire interview process took about 3 weeks. First there was a writing sample they ask for which is very easy. The next step was a phone mock call. I was pretty nervous because I wasn’t sure how the role playing would go but the rep was super friendly and fed me the info before hand & I just navigated through the call showing my customer service skills. It wasn’t really about getting the info right but more so how can u resolve an issue effectively. The last step was in on site interview that lasted about an hour. I met w/ 2 hiring “team leads” for 30min each. The first hiring manager was pretty laid back & did ask basic interview questions but it was more conversational. The 2nd was a little more direct (reading through a list of questions) and his questions were longer/more complex. Overall my experience was great everyone was superb friendly & the office is so awesome!

      Application

      Interview

      I quickly received a response to my application and followed up with a simple writing sample. I had a phone interview a couple of days later that included a mock phone call, followed by an in person interview about a week later. The in person interview was at the same time as several other interviews. I interviewed with two managers that asked standard interview questions. I thought it went well with the first manager but couldn't get a read from the second. I received a rejection email about a week after the interview but was not given any feedback.
