Question 13 of 30
13. Question
Ms. Rodriguez, a customer service representative, receives a call from a frustrated customer who is experiencing technical difficulties with a recently purchased product. The customer demands an immediate refund. How should Ms. Rodriguez handle this situation?
Correct
In this scenario, Ms. Rodriguez should demonstrate empathy towards the customer’s frustration while also adhering to company policies. Offering troubleshooting assistance and explaining the refund policy aligns with good customer service practices, as it provides the customer with options to resolve the issue effectively. Simply processing the refund without further inquiry (option A) may not address the root cause of the problem and could result in a loss of revenue for the company. Transferring the call to a supervisor (option B) should be reserved for situations that require higher-level intervention. Informing the customer that refunds are not possible (option D) without attempting to resolve the issue is likely to escalate the situation further and result in dissatisfaction. Therefore, option C is the most appropriate course of action in this scenario.

Question 15 of 30
15. Question

During the interview, she asks a candidate about their previous work experience and qualifications. The candidate responds by providing vague answers and avoiding specific details. How should Ms. Chang handle this situation?
Correct
In this scenario, Ms. Chang should use probing questions to encourage the candidate to provide more specific information about their previous work experience and qualifications. This approach allows Ms. Chang to assess the candidate’s capabilities more accurately and ensures a fair evaluation process. Ending the interview immediately (option A) without giving the candidate an opportunity to elaborate could prematurely dismiss a potentially qualified candidate. Ignoring the lack of detail (option C) may result in incomplete information for the hiring decision. Assuming the candidate is not qualified (option D) based solely on their initial responses is premature and may overlook valuable skills or experiences. Therefore, option B is the most appropriate course of action in this situation.
