This was an interactive interview. Although there were questions, the interview was alternative to the common place HR driven variety. I was asked to write a response to a potentially huge customer on behalf of a C level executive. This was a real-life situation and it tested my ability to think on my feet, listen and craft an articulate, simple and info. packed response. I was asked to give an example of "doing the right thing". Moreover, I was asked to interact with different employees in different departments to accomplish small tasks. Additionally, I played the role of a Technical Support Specialist and responded to a mock call with an upset customer calling in.
