SITEL’s language specialist is going to be testing a couple of things in your
interview, things such us your articulation which is very important to have a clear and flawless communication with somebody, not only from the United States but any person who speaks English. Your grammar, it is very important that you keep in mind that you need to respect the SVA at any given moment of your speech. SVA includes any association with subjects, verbs and complements that you use. This might seem simple at first, but as native Spanish speakers we tend to confuse tenses and verb conjugation. Mistakes with the letter S, TH sound, M and N sound, CH and SH sound, final sound with the letter N, M and more are very common in a person’s learning process, however, these are the things that you as job-seeker need to attack the most. Opening your mouth is very important for clear articulation. So don’t forget it.
These are some questions you might be asked in
the interview What have you learned about customer service at E4CC? Where did you learn English? / Did you study English before the Alliance? Where do you see yourself in 6 months? What was the last movie that you watched? What did you do on your last vacation/day off? What is commitment? What is feedback? Tell me something about yourself? What does the phrase the enemy of my enemy is my ally mean to you? What does killing 2 birds with one stone mean to you? What is customer service in your own words? What does you knocked it out of the park mean to you? What is your opinion about the Ukraine and Russia situation? What is success? How do success and failure relate to each other? If you could change something around the world, what would you change?

Common call center vocabulary:
Graveyard Shift Station Meal or lunch Break Supervisor Overtime VTO Day off Team leader Quality Coach Account manager (OM) Client Customer HR Badge Log in/Log out Medical Leave CSAT AHT In a call center you have different type of calls
Inbound call: An inbound call center deals with a majority of
incoming calls. That means that customers or potential customers are phoning you rather than the other way around. In other words, the customers dial to the call center. Because of this, most inbound call centers are customer service focused. Customers will call into these types of call centers when they need assistance with the product or service they specialize in. Outbound call: An outbound call is the exact opposite of an inbound call center. Rather than having majorities of your calls come in to your call center. In other words, the agents dial the calls. The definition means that most outbound call centers are sales focused. When agents are making phone calls out of the call center, they are focused on a list of customers or potential customers that they would like to get in touch with. Most of the time, this means they are targeting them for a sale. Conference call: This is when you have a customer on the line and either you connect your manager on the line or you connect another person on the line. It might be the case that your customer needs a bank confirmation or a 3rd party confirmation and then instead of hanging up the call, you do a three-way call or a conference call.
