H&R Block Client Services Professional and Receptionist Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – I received an automated email inviting me to interview chose from a list of times. The office had a very strong smoke odor. The interview was short and I was very disappointed by the low pay of $8.50/hr.

 They don't openly tell you much about the job, so come prepared with questions. I'm glad I read this site first so I was prepared for the low pay. Even though it's temporary they are paying experienced people a wage for a 16 year old. My son makes more than this at a local grocery store. Only take this job if you have no other prospects because it's unlikely you will make much money here because they may only schedule you 4 hours week. They also expect you to travel to more than one office locally which is an added drawback for this job.

Reason for Declining – Low pay, the mall pays better! The only way they'd increase the pay is if I spoke Spanish. No guarantee of hours, could be scheduled as little as 4 hours week. I had to ask about this because they don't willing tell you the position even though temporary can also be very few hours which would not be worth it for me.

Interview Details – I applied for the position in October. I received an email in December asking if I would come in the next day for an interview which was a Saturday afternoon. I then met with the office manager who was very pleasant. She asked me about my background and what type of work I was looking for either part time or full time. She then let me know the position is indeed part time but during peek time it is possible to make full time hours. She asked me to describe some scenarios that I had encountered in the past. After our interview was complete she told me she would contact me and let me know when training begins and I actually start today.

Negotiation Details – Did not negotiate.

Interview Details – Was asked basic questions on how to treat customers and handle problems that may arise. It was about 15 minutes.

Negotiation Details – None

Interview Details – The interview was preety easy for a group/panel interview. I felt relaxed and answered shortly but got to the point. The ladies that interviewed us were very niece people, friendly and this really helped us to be less nervous or stressed about the questions. The questions were preety basic and easy. After a week I went to my second interview with the office manager where I chose to work and it was a little bit difficult but not impossible and I did my best and after a couple of days I got a phone call from the manager, telling me that I was hired for the position, thing that made me so happy. So my advice for everybody who will attend an interview is not to be afraid or too stressed because it's not too bad like it seems and the recruiters are human beings like us so try to relax and be professional, smile and have a positive attitude. Good luck for everybody!

Negotiation Details – No I did not negociate anything.
