Question 1
Tell me about a time you went above and beyond for a customer?
In person, they gave a presentation, then they make sure you’re fine with the pay and job duties, but then to my surprise they didn’t ask many situational questions, only 3, so it wasn’t too hard.

The interview was a 5-10 minute presentation, and then they broke us into groups. They first ask operational questions like, can you work weekends, nights, holidays, etc.? " Then, they only ask 3 questions. I got the offer, and we did the onboarding. If you are clean and you move fast on your pre-hire process, your clearances should come in 3-4 days. But getting a start date takes a while because they wait for everyone to clear the onboarding and background check.
