For a Ticket Agent, customer service is a top priority and your interviewer will be looking to hear about any relevant experience that you have. Answer this question by providing examples of past customer service experiences in a professional, volunteer, or educational setting (i.e. university), while mentioning some of the duties involved (as per the job posting), should you have such experience. This will demonstrate you already have the required experience for this role.

"As you can see from my resume, my two most recent jobs involved a very front-facing customer service role. In my current role, I work with customers that come into our store to buy products that aren't purchased on a regular basis. This makes the customer education component so important, and I pride myself on my ability to know our products and how they fit the needs of my customer. I have excellent communication skills that really help me thrive in this role. In my previous role, I was a Front Desk Associate at a large resort where I was responsible for assisting guests staying at the resort, handling the incoming phone calls for reservations, and checking in guests as they arrived. I feel like my experience would really set me up for success as a Ticket Agent."

As you can see from my CV, all the jobs I have listed are involved with a very front-facing customer service role. In my current role, I work with customers that come into our venues to have an authentic live entertainment experience, whether that is a rock concert or a musical. This makes the customer education component so important, and I pride myself on my ability to know our audience and range of events. I have excellent communication skills that really help me thrive in this role. In my previous role, I was an online fulfillment center team member within the Warehouse store where I was responsible for picking and packaging online orders and assisting customers on the shop floor as a retail assistant. I feel like my experience with customers in both the hospitality and retail industries has really set me up for success as a Fares and Ticketing Consultant.

Rachelle's Feedback
It's great that you connect your experience in hospitality and retail and how the experience has set you up for success in this new role. It would make an impact if you could be more specific in a few areas. For instance, consider providing specifics from your training that will transfer well to this role. When you mention your communication skills, be sure to give details since the term 'communication skills' is quite broad. When opening your response, rather than saying, 'As you can see from my CV' (this puts the onus on the interviewer), try more accountable language like, 'I'd be happy to walk you through my customer service experience.'
Prepare for questions about fare rules, difficult passengers, and system proficiency.
