I had two mock interviews with David and Evelyn from Mechanics Bank. My interview with Evelyn went very well. My interview with David was considered by him to be excellent. The only notable constructive criticism is when Evelyn asked me where I saw myself three years from now. I told her it would be in remote customer service for a consumer technology company. But I said nothing more. When she commented on that I told her I thought since I was being interviewed for a customer service job at Mechanics Bank it would not make any sense advertising for T-Mobile or Xfinity. She said I should have told her why I wanted to work at either of those companies and what skills I had that I could highlight for working at T-Mobile or Xfinity. But what did that have to do with increasing the chance of getting a customer Service job at Mechanics Bank. That whole thing was over-the-top too strange for me.

What I Did Today

Today I did some practice/training with BerkMart sales. I found it challenging at first, but eventually I caught on. I found it interesting to see what everyone else came up with in regard to purchases. Afterwards, we watched a video about hot to deal with irate customers. It was review for me since I have prior experience in retail/customer service. Afterwards I looked at the cash out game and did some review for Mechanics Bank which is for tomorrow’s mock interview.

8/20/24 What I Did Today

I typed 38 W.P.M.. I did the Bert Mart online customer service lab experience. I watched a great video on how to deal with irate customers. I learned the 3-way technique, to transfer the problem, time out, and draw a line. I learned how important it is to de-escalate any intense emotional reactions either as the customer service agent or/and of the customer. It is also of fundamental importance to know what one has the power and authority to do in the position of a customer service agent. I learned there are many moving parts and they all need to properly attended to. I had an Employment records review with Carrie. I linked my resume with my CTP job log.
