      Customer Service Advisor Interview

      Apr 10, 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Cardiff, Wales
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at HSBC (Cardiff, Wales) in Mar 2018

      Interview

      First online tests which were easy. Then a telephone interview which lasts for about 15 minutes. They go through your details and application then ask you 2 questions. They do dig for more details, but it is honestly like talking to a robot. Their end is so scripted from the moment they say hello to the moment they say bye. So my advise would be prepare your questions in detail and if you have to, read them exactly how you prepared them. Just tell yourself your speaking to a brick wall because that’s what if feels like. I’ve had more difficult conversations on the phone with my Nan about my Sunday dinner

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Give a time where you went above and beyond for someone and why did you do this
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Give an example where you done the right thing even though it was difficult for you to do so
