I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at TTEC in Jul 2012
Interview
The complete hiring process took about a month and a half. I originally applied for an inbound sales representative, but during the offer call it turned out to just be an inbound customer service rep job. I am pretty flexible so I had no complaints, but those who had done the initial interview and wanted sales because of the commission were told they had a few positions left and that they could possible fit them in.
The process pretty much went like this: -received email stating they had receive my application -email saying my application had been accepted -email checking if my computer met their work requirements -email asking me schedule a date for my interview -email letting you know if you were offered the job or not -email testing your computer requirement again -offer call invitation (you then schedule a date like you did with the interview -offer letter and then a slew of email about drug testing, I-9, etc.
And that's pretty much it, you find out when you start during your offer call. The interview process wasn't bad at all. You start with a general overview of the company and their requirements, they ask everyone what hours they are looking for, but it's likely you won't get them anyway. It's pretty much the needs of the company they are contracting with. Then each applicant is taken to the side (virtually) and interviewed. Then you can hang up. So don't be nervous, if you are dedicated and have patience, anyone can be a good customer service rep.

Question 1
There weren't any unexpected questions, basically they asked about past experience in customer service or call centers. Then they wanted to know what qualities you believe make a good customer service rep.

Interview
I applied to TeleTech online and they immediately gave me an "appointment" date and time after I was finished with the application. I went in for my "appointment" which consisted of filling out more paperwork as if I had never applied in the first place, then taking a few 20-30 minute competency tests which were relatively simple. After this I spoke shortly with one of the HR representatives there and told me when the next "class" was. I assumed by class she meant training so I was excited because I had thought I already had the job. I go in for the "class" which consisted of a short tour of the facility, a short meeting in which they divulge to you how hard and annoying your job is going to be, this is when I found out that I would be making over $1/hr less than what the online application said was the minimum I would be paid. Your pay depends on your random placement in one of the many different companies that they have under one roof, which is never explained to you before you sign all of the paperwork. We then went into the main office and sat there while the 10 or 15 of us is individually got interviewed slowly. And then after the interview, they have you sit down at a computer and sign up for a background check and drug test. At no point were any of the main negative points made aware until it was too late.
