Working in a call center, resolving customer complaints is a big part of the job. So, your interviewer will want to understand your experience level with this aspect of customer service. Be prepared for questions like this by reviewing your resume and highlighting relevant skills and examples from your work. To help you narrow down which skills to focus on, you may refer to the job description for any key qualifications they are seeking. When sharing your response, explain the situation, how you supported, and what the outcome was, and try to keep it positive!

"In a previous retail position, I had a very angry customer approach me and share that he had received the incorrect order. He told me that he had ordered a custom door set for his home with help from one of our associates, and the hardware had arrived for the wrong door direction. I waited patiently for him to fully express his frustration and situation, which allowed him to feel heard and also gave me time to process what he was saying. I apologized for the confusion and offered to looking into it immediately by searching his order. I noticed that the order was completely correct, but instead of combatting him I simply asked to see the hardware. Then, I walked him over to one of our displays and compared it to his product. He quickly realized that he had the right product after all, and he immediately cooled down and even apologized. I told him to come see us anytime with questions, concerns, or anything else. He left a much happier customer!"

Good job! This example shows that you know how to handle a difficult situation, even when you can't always give the customer what they initially ask for.
