About the role

A call centre agent handles calls from customers who need help, information or a fix, often one after another for a whole shift. You listen, look things up in a system, explain clearly and aim to solve the issue on the first call. The panel is checking how you sound, how you listen and how you stay calm with frustrated callers.

How to prepare

  1. Practise speaking clearly and at a steady pace, since your voice is the first thing customers notice.
  2. Prepare a story about calming down an angry person, at work or elsewhere, and what you did.
  3. Learn the company's main products or services so you sound confident about them.
  4. Practise typing notes while listening so you can do both on a live call.
  5. Think about how you keep your energy and patience up through a long shift of calls.

Common mistakes

  • Interrupting before the customer has finished explaining.
  • Sounding flat or rushed, even when you have the right answer.
  • Making promises the company cannot keep just to end the call.
