Route service representative Interview Questions

I have wanted to work for Quest Diagnostics for many years. I have been in the delivery(courier) business for 10 plus years and each day is different. I know I am an excellent candidate for this job because I love people and if you don't love people(customers) this job is not for you. I am very organized, dealing with specimens you have be organized so that you deliver the correct specimen to the correct spot for sending to labs. My integrity is the same no matter of I'm with my manager of alone in my vehicle collecting specimens. I am a strong believer in excellent integrity because this is what makes a great employee or one that the employer can do without. I am honest, trustworthy and will get the job done(route ran in time frame) so that I can get the specimens sent to the destinations they need to go to be read and observed so that the lab can quickly with good quality turn those labs over to hospitals or physicians so that the person that have the specimen can be on the road to recovery in a timely manner so they can return to their daily lives with the reading of their labs behind them. We will then move on to the next lab(specimen). I know I will be 100% at my job and if I feel I need assistance I will not hesitate to ask someone that fully understands the job so that I keep my 100% of accurately receiving and getting each and every specimen to its correct destination without losing or misplacing them. I think the above written material,is why I would be the best at my job as Route Service Representative!

Answer was that I avoid being part of the "complaining" crowd, and do not let other's bad mouthing rub off on me. I stay focused on my own job to do my best.

I had been told during the phone interview that the position paid $10-14 plus some change an hour. I told the interviewer I was looking to make closer to the $15 dollar range.

I explained that while I was still somewhat new to the area, I understood the basics of the Salt Lake grid system, where streets are arranged relative to Temple Square in downtown Salt Lake City. Anyone interviewing for this job should be aware that Quest wants you to be able to navigate around traffic or other obstacles on your route WITHOUT having to use a navigation app or GPS device, which they feel takes too much time.

No amount of the right answers I offered, unflinching at their oh-so-obvious contempt for me, were enough for this hateful, unprofessional person and you know what? That's just fine with me.

I explained to the interviewer that based on my previous work experiences where I had mostly been working independently (not around co-workers) that I couldn't really answer this question. I did not say this during the interview, but afterward I wondered to myself how this question is relevant to a position where the employee will be performing most of his or her duties alone.
