      Customer Service Interview

      May 17, 2012
      Anonymous employee
      Johnson City, TN
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Lumen (Johnson City, TN) in May 2012

      Interview

      After completing the lengthy application(3 hours approx for background information, resume AND application, several skills tests as well as personality) was contacted by phone and given a quick interview and set up for the last step which was the panel interview. This interview took approx about an hour in which was questioned on different scenarios and how would be the ideal way to respond. Then a role play is started where you must sell a random Centurylink product to the panel of interviews. There is no script and you have a few minuted to prepare. It is all improv here folks. If they like what they see you get an immediate offer and then must complete an employment application for the background check vendor as well as show up for your drug test within 2 days or the offer is no longer valid.

      Customer Service Interview

      Sep 18, 2024
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Lumen (New York, NY) in Aug 2024

      Interview

      Lumen uses HireView which is an AI tool to select candidates. Initially you are asked to complete a virtual interview and play games. However, there's a lack of transparency regarding this process. The solo virtual interview process includes practice questions that the interviewer can practice over and over again. There's a note indicating that the practice questions are not being saved during the interview, so the candidate can practice over and over again. Be aware that the practice interviews are indeed being used. The feedback portion that the AI tool sends after the interview, indicated that the responses provided during the practice sessions were indeed considered and analyzed during the AI assessment. Additionally, you are required to play three games. Pay close attention as the camera and microphone keep recording and analyzing your body language and attitude displayed, and anything that you might have said while playing these games. Because it is an AI triggered tool, if you move your attention to anything else other than the game (a cat, a dog, or a drink of coffee), the game will stop abruptly. There are 'pauses' that you are allowed to take in between games. In the meantime the camera and microphone are still on. So be aware of that. I am considering this a negative experience because of the lack of transparency of not alerting the candidate that the practice questions were going to be analyzed as well (the feedback clearly indicated that they were analyzed). The interview might appear 'easy' however, the candidate will have to be able to bypass the AI tool bias. Which unless you are a savvy AI engineer, it does come with a certain degree of difficulty. Keywords, body language, lighting, etc., you name it. AI is looking for something specific.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The interview questions are generic. Prepare accolades and experience and you should be fine. The AI expectation though, that's the difficult and challenging part. Know that your microphone and camera are 'always' on, so if you sneeze or laugh... Good luck! I had plenty of experience for this role, and fully prepared for the questions (memorized and role played) but I failed the AI expectation. Maybe I didn't smile enough. Who knows. Just be sharp and do your research.
