Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Same here. And I don't think it's entirely to do with the lingering anethesia or pain meds. (Whoo, wisdom teeth extraction. I feel very floppy.)

All is well that ends in pizza.
Andrea has asked me to query the hive mind for these questions I am being asked in applying for a position at a credit union (ours, btw) call center.
1. What inspires you to want to work at [credit union] and how does this align with your values and career aspirations?
2. Describe a time where you did something unexpected for someone you did not know. What did you do and what was the outcome?
3. What do you feel is the difference between customer service and building relationships? Please explain.
4. From your experience, what situations did you find it difficult to adapt to? Please explain.
Any suggestions for the responses? Pitfalls? Grabbers?
#2 and #4 seem the biggest minefields.
And people said essay questions wouldn't come up in real life...

Which I take as evidence that it is likely correct. Good job, bt!

For #4 just make sure you follow what you had trouble adapting to with what you did to change that/adapt/not have that problem in the future. That's key.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
bt! That is great. I understood, maybe half of it. But, it's the end of the work day, so, brain. not fully working.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
For #1, research the company and look at how they see themselves and reflect that back to them. I might mention the fact that they are asking for thoughtful responses about service as proof that they truly see people as individuals worth of respect and that something you believe strongly in.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
the way to answer the questions is based on what they want to learn .
for a basic example - the difficult customer question - the answer shoudl be something about understanding that 1) customers have bad days 2) you have bad days 30 nothing is personal and 4) there is always the possibility of asking for help
so for 2 - I might talk about a time when you helped a coworker with something that wasn't your responsibility, but did x for them and unexpectedly y for the customer . Or a volunteer experience. bonus for a CS twist
and for 4 I'd stick to something really basic and common - but probably related to a learned people skill ( I always hated to repeat myself - but over the years I learned that if I slow down and make sure that I am not losing my audience I 'm less fustrated and so is the customer )
