I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at eBay (Austin, TX)
Interview
Standard phone screening. In person interview involved a tour of the site and a short test listening to a sample phone call. Next was a one on one with a team lead. They basically read STAR type questions off a sheet of paper and wrote down your answers. Very impersonal

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to deal with a difficult customer
The process began with a brief initial phone screening to discuss my background and availability. This was followed by a more formal virtual interview with the hiring manager. We discussed specific customer service scenarios, conflict resolution strategies, and how to maintain high satisfaction ratings while working in a fast-paced environment. The conversation was professional and focused heavily on interpersonal skills and problem-solving abilities.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to deal with a particularly difficult or frustrated customer. What steps did you take to resolve their issue, and what was the final outcome of that interaction?
Talked to a recruiter, said great things and I fit the role perfectly, would follow up with hiring manager. Week later, then said, not a good fit. Was sad about the lack of transparency.
Very complex tests before the interview it was like they needed a rocket scientist vs a representative and it was very lengthy so it was redundant and unnecessary I believe
