'Solutions' is one of the most dominant keywords on Square's sites, and they market themselves as identifying and coming up with business solutions for every aspect of a client's business. This question aims to evaluate your approach to problem-solving, how solutions-oriented you are, and your emotional intelligence. Recent studies have detailed the high level of emotional intelligence and power behind using the words 'I don't know' in an appropriate context, as opposed to speaking with authority with guesswork or uninformed opinions. In a client-facing role with Square, you may be asked questions you can't answer with the information on hand or aren't qualified to answer. The interviewers want to know how you answer such questions without compromising your customer's confidence in the brand you represent. It's okay to be honest with a client while exhibiting excellent communication skills and offering assurances you will get back to them with the answers they need. Share how you offer solutions-oriented approaches while retaining your client's trust, confidence, and brand loyalty.

"In a situation where I didn't know an answer or couldn't give a qualified answer at that moment, I would assure the individual that I would look into it and promptly provide the answers they seek. I would articulate the next steps, whether putting them directly in contact with the right person or informing them I'd follow up shortly."

"In my current role, I'm often asked questions that require approval to answer, whether from our sales, finance, or service staff. So, I'd answer the questions I could, and when able, I'd put them in contact with those who could help them. I set clear expectations and work with our teams to deliver the best service possible."
