37,00 for me a single, no kids male. Thats really great for me considering i'm at 24,000 right now
I nailed the 1st interview with human resources, she said "there's no reason why you shouldn't have this job"
Had the 2nd interview today with a hiring manager and another guy from a different location
Hardest interview ever
These were 3 of the questions they asked
1)If you won 20 million dollars what would you do with it
--My answer. Pay my bills, give money to my parents, donate to multiple charities, build myself my dream house in the country and invest the rest
2)What would your super power be?
--Flying. That way I could save humans/animals who needed help
3)If you were a waiter how would you tell a customer , who ordered a baked potato?
Me-- Well I'd apologize and offer them a replacement for the potato
One of the questions I failed at miserably and I knew it. I worded everything wrong
The other questions were so repetitive about customer service I didnt know how to change my answers?
1)What 2 factors make for good customer service?
---Friendliness and reliable
Like IDK. I hope I get the job but damn I really dont think I will
Yea, sometimes for entry level and jobs which attract a broad range of applicants where soft skills are the primary requirement, you get a lot of behavioral questions.
They can suck, but they are in place so you can beat out other candidates who are lesser prepared than you. So, if you spend some time, it can get you a job.
I had a fair amount of those questions when I was entry level and when I applied to jobs outside of my degree/experience when I was much younger.
If I were to get interviewed these days, they'd ask me if I can do A, B, C. If I cannot, then they'll tell me pretty directly I'm not what they're looking for.

Ridiculous that a freaking call center job for lousy pay really for 2017, requires a CIA-like entrance psychobabble behavioral interview these days.
Ive been on interviews where there is not ONE question related to the damn job. WTF is that? There should be terminations or company closings if the idiot employers can't even conduct SANE interviews and have questions pertaining to the damn jobs we apply for. Don't waste our time.

That's how HR folks justify their own existence.
I did go through a very long interview process with the CIA, back in the late 1980s. While it dragged on for several months, the interviews were very professional and straightforward. I did have to have a long talk with a shrink, and was told that was part of the process.

With these type of questions, no wonder the American business world is in such a tailspin.

Sad but true. Lots of these HR people could never exist in the real world doing real jobs.
I'm sorry but those questions seem to be asked by some immature manager. Don't feel bad - this was not a very professional interview - from what it seems.
