"In my current role handling incoming customer calls to our business, I am often asked questions that I don't know the answer to. In these situations, I let the customer know that I will get them in touch with the best person to answer their question and do so right away. I let them know that if they get a voicemail, they can leave a message and the call will be returned shortly. In these situations, it is important that I know our staff, their expertise, and their daily schedules to be able to get customers in touch with the right person. In this role working for a much larger airline, it will also be important that I know the staff well and the types of colleagues best suited to answer customer questions. I would let the customer know that I am unable to answer their question, but that I want to make sure it gets answered, and I'd work quickly to contact the right person for the answer."
