I would say I'm someone who likes to learn about the products in the store I'm working in. I feel more confident when I'm able to answer a customer's questions and help them find what it is they are looking for. I think I have good problem-solving skills as well. For example, if a customer can't find what they need I try to come up with other suggestions for them.
Jaymie's Feedback
Great job! If you ever had positive feedback from customers or in surveys, share that information with the interviewer, as that will make your answer even more impactful. Be sure to read the job description and highlight a few essential customer service skills they are looking for.
