      Customer Service Representative Interview

      18 Aug 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Swansea, Wales
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (Swansea, Wales) in Aug 2016

      Interview

      It was a 3 stage process - 2 calls and a face-to-face. The first call was simply an intro to the role and a couple of basic questions about my work history. The second call was a competency based interview, lasting about 30-40 minutes. I believe there were 6 questions. The interview was with 2 people and involved further competency questions and a role play. The role play involved sitting in a room on your own with a phone and PC. I received 2 calls from someone else in the building and had to pretend that they were a customer and try my best to tackle their requests. The PC had helpful links and prompts to aid this. The role play took around 35-45 minutes. The face-to-face interview felt very informal and relaxed. We had a laugh about things and chatted about how I had dealt with certain situations in the past, such as teaching colleagues, or creating a relationship with a customer. The whole process took over a month, but I was offered the job within 3 days of the final interview. Overall, I'm very happy with the process and the result!

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at HSBC

      Interview

      Submit online application and passed online simulation, similar to what role would entail. Had a telephone interview, then in person interview at the building. Interview was okay but started late and felt rushed. Completed online based interview. Lengthy process for minimum salary, and long hours. Took 14 days to hear back. Not worth the hassle
