Ryan Brunner has over ten years of experience recruiting, interviewing, and hiring candidates in the healthcare, public service, and private manufacturing/distribution industries.

Because customer service is a huge part of the work as an Operations Coordinator with Qantas Airways, your interviewer is looking for insight into your personality and work ethic on the job. To do this, they want to hear you talk about a time you went above the call of duty to provide a great outcome in the workplace. Whether you have done it for a customer or a colleague, try to paint a clear picture that describes the situation, provides your thought process in the situation, and clearly explains how and why you went above and beyond for that person. Your interviewer will be looking to connect the dots on your outcome and why you took the necessary actions to provide this outcome, in order to gauge your ability to do just that in the job you are interviewing for.

"Throughout my career, I've never hesitated to go beyond the call of duty to provide excellent service to the customers that I've worked with. Exceeding the expectations of the customer is what most often brings them back time and time again, and I imagine this is especially true in the airline industry. Last year, the sales team that I supported was working on landing a huge client, and I was asked to help organize a meeting between the potential client's leadership and our sales managers. To do my part in impressing the clients, I decorated the conference room the group would be meeting in with the sports teams from their home state to make them feel more at home. I also printed out large poster sized positive feedback from customers around the room. When our sales director saw the room the evening before the meeting, he commended me for taking the initiative to do such a great job on the room. The next day, I heard the clients were thoroughly impressed with all of the work we had done."
