Addressing customer complaints is an essential part of customer service as a Pharmacy Technician, and the interviewer wants to hear that you are okay talking through a customer's complaint. Start by telling the interviewer that you do not mind addressing customer complaints and that you recognize most customers have good intentions when coming forth with a complaint. Show the interviewer you have the communication and conflict-resolution skills they seek in a Pharmacy Technician.

"I have handled angry customers by remaining calm, listening to their complaints, and finding a resolution to the problem. I have found that most often, there is a communication issue that can be resolved with patience, listening, and problem-solving. If I cannot make the customer happy, I involve my manager. That has only happened once, and even my manager could not please the customer."

"I have extensive training in customer dispute management. If a customer is ever unhappy with their service or product, I would be sure to stop what I was doing, apologize, and ask them how I can ensure they become a satisfied customer again. Most customers will tell you exactly what they want to satisfy their needs."

I handle customer complaints by remaining calm and trying to help with the complaint. I will try and resolve the issue myself but if it is not possible I will inform a supervisor or manager.

Jaymie's Feedback
Remaining calm in stressful situations is key, and the interviewer will be looking for that in your response. Trying to help the customer as quickly as possible yourself, but knowing when to pull in a manager is also important. Great job.
