I am working as a customer support agent for the Product Based company which manufacture kids toys and educational stuff. My role is to assist the customer to assemble the product and provide other useful information.

Give examples of a time when you put forth extraordinary effort to achieve a goal. Why was the extra effort required?
I am a very energetic person and always in front to support. There was one incident happened before a few years when a new product released with some flaws and no one was aware of those flaws. We got a lot of calls and were having problems to provide detailed information to the customer. I put my extra effort to meet the business department and acquire all the necessary information and documents, came back to my team and shared that information with everyone with the proper documents. This was a nightmare for everyone but I enjoyed as I got a chance to meet new team and information.
Tell us about a time when you caught a discrepancy or inconsistency in information that might have caused significant problems had you missed it.
This is a common issue in a customer support job profile when you are not focused on your work. As I already mentioned in my previous answers that I always put my 100% effort and focus on the work. I am a human and sometimes mistakes happened from me as well. There was a new product released and I was not aware of it and provided slightly different information to the customer which impact me later. After that, I always consult with the other business department when I need proper information. I learn new things to communicate with the other team to get proper information and documents. I am learning from my mistakes.
Tell us a time you set a goal to improve your performance. What was your plan to achieve it? Did you succeed? Why or why not?
The learning a new skill set is a good habit. Everyone must have a plan to improve their skills. It does not matter whether it is technical, managerial or personality development. I also believe in continuous improvement and learn a lot of things in my life. I always plan a schedule to improve my skills and trying to get the things done before the deadline. I split the topic into multiple milestones and work toward accomplishing each milestone at a time on or before the deadline. Seldom, due to other important works, I missed achieving the milestone although I always try to accomplish on or before the deadline.
Give us a specific example of a time you were involved in a conflict at work. What was your approach to resolving it? Was it successful? Why or why not?
I am very professional at my work and always try to follow the organization’s policy related to work culture. I had some conflict with my teammates when they disagreed to share the experience/information within a team. Also, they were against to conduct the brainstorming session with the other new teammate. I always want to share the knowledge with others so everyone can perform their work independently. I discuss with all teammate and conduct voting for this and followed the result of that voting.
Tell us about a moment when you had more work than you could handle. What steps did you take to ensure the quality of the outcome?
I always prepare a checklist and evaluate my outcome with the checklist once it completed. It helps me to produce a good quality outcome.
Tell us about a situation when you received either positive or negative feedback from a customer. Why does this instance stick out in your mind, and what did you do with the feedback when you received it?
I love feedback and always take it positively. I always appraise the feedback and apply to my work for the improvement. I remember, one time I got feedback about cross verifying the information with the customer. It was excellent feedback as we may miss or write some wrong information provided by the customer. I applied this feedback in my daily routines and I always cross verify the information with the customer.
