Interview
I had a phone interview followed by a face-to-face interview about a week later. The phone interview was about half an hour long and I was told some basic information about the company and was asked about my resume. The in-person interview was with two employees, who took turns giving me info on the company, asking about past work experience, and asking how I would respond in certain scenarios. For example, what would I do if a long term customer that the company does a lot of business with wants to return an item that is nonreturnable? How would I handle an irate customer? They also asked behavioral questions such as what my biggest weakness is, what motivates me, etc. This lasted for about an hour and a half.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Not really difficult but kind of odd "What would you do if you were talking with a customer and you heard a dog barking in the background?"

Interview
First note. It took a month because the person I had the phone interview with went on vacation after my interview so I had to wait for her to get back before moving onto the next step.
Phone interview was the basic background questions about my background (what I studied, past work experience, what I'm interested in getting into, etc..)
1:1 interview: The person interviewing me was a customer service team manager. She had a list of questions she asked me which mostly was about my resume and background. Similar to the phone interview. Then there was small talk (try to get a feel for my personality to see how I would be talking to customers). Last thing I had to do was try to sell a pen to her.
Overall simple and straight forward interview process.

Interview
The interviewer was really nice and answered positively to my scenario responses. He asked me to sell him a marker and then asked how I would deal with a made-up scenario. He seemed impressed with everything, yet they never contacted me again, though, despite my emails. I never even met the person that made the decision to not hire me.
