Average Interview
Application

I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Convergys (Miami, FL) in Jan 2018

Interview

This was for a work at home CUSTOMER SERVICE/SALES position. I utilized Glassdoor prior to interviewing, and some of the questions I wasn't expecting since previous interviewer's didn't list them/weren't asked them. I included in my "interview questions", since they caught me off guard. 1) Fill out application online: go to convergys.com and fill out an application, then meet the computer requirements through downloading the computer test software. 2) I was contacted by a recruiter to take a webcam interview, which I had never had to do before. The interview was just me answering questions that were pre-recorded, there wasn't a live person on the other end. 3) I was contacted by a recruiter for a phone "pre-interview", which consisted of going over my resume, as well as if I'm able to work certain hours, etc. At the end we set up a time for the next day for an "official interview" where I'd be ask tech questions and behavioral questions. 4) I had my official interview (which I will list the questions I was caught off guard by down below), and I was then offered the job at the end of the call. I was told I'd be sent a drug screen, and background check I'd need to complete. Then I'd be sent an official job offer, then I'd be sent requirements for a headset, USB flash drive, and monitor size. Then 2 days prior to training I'll receive the training class instructions. Overall: A very, very thorough process for a work at home job. There are many hoops to jump through, but as long as you're not doing drugs, have no arrests, and have the required technical products, you'll be able to get the job.

Application

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Convergys (Pompano Beach, FL) in Oct 2016

Interview

Required a computer test that did not read its results so I had to repeat the test on my machine over ten times...All this before the interview. The interview was not very hard. they had you answer questions using the live cam and typing responses. There were as expected minimum equipment requirements including being hard wired to your internet service which could not be satellite. Also a specific list of approved USB headphones was provided as these were required. Most of the requirements are reasonable since you are due to provide a service that must meet the standard of an office based job with regards to the customer experience.

Application

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Convergys (Portland, OR) in Jul 2015

Interview

The interview process included several over the phone interviews, a computer check and then they wanted me on a thursday the 18th of July get a drug test before the 18th. This included me setting up the drug test at a facility that was 39 miles away, get to said location take the test and drive back. I did not have the 20$ in gas to take a drug test. I emailed first because I had a question about the drug testing. In the state of Oregon and Washington (I live in Oregon on the border of Washington) recreational Marijuana is legal to imbibe. I asked Convergys if they fired for legal recreational substances and referenced Marijuana and they said yes. I wrote with a respectful but displeased email that they would not respect state laws and unless they were willing to continue my employment without a drug test that I withdrew my application. They did not reach back to me. After several days I responded because It was unprofessional for a company to not reply back on the status of employment. Again i was not responded to.

Interview Questions
  • Each interviewer (3) asked for employment history over the phone.
