The interviewer wants to know why you've chosen this career as that could be an indicator of your dedication to the job. Your answer should be a display of your passion in helping customers.

Here is an interview answer example: "I really enjoy the interaction with people and find no problem answering even the most trivial questions. I get a deep sense of satisfaction when solving problems or helping customers out in one way or another. I've always been a social and outgoing person so a job that lets me talk to and help people is perfect for me."

Wonderful response! Sharing how the customer service field naturally fits with your personality is great.

Anonymous Answer

I have always loved interacting with people in different spheres of life. I am always happy to assist with challenges faced by others, in this way it gives me a source of satisfaction knowing that am able to lighten people's burdens by sharing experiences with them. It also makes me a better person because I learn from other people's experiences too. So a job in customer service would be an idle fit for me.

Great response! After all, not everyone is cut out for customer service work. Your answer comes across as very people-focused and genuine. It sounds like any company would be lucky to have you.
