Got a telephone interview for Lloyds TSB for one of their "Telephone Banking Advisor" posts.

It's only weekends because im still at school.

Can anybody give me any tips as i've never done this before.
 
I used to be in that role until last Sunday.
Trying to remember what they asked in the phone interview, I know it only took about 10mins at most. I think they were mainly checking that I had a good telephone manner so make sure you're very polite and don't use any slang.
I think they asked a question on working as part of a team and how well you worked in one. Also a time when you went out of your way to help someone with something.
There were then some questions based on basic maths and how you'd deal with a customer's query. They were mostly common sense and the maths questions they said it was fine to write down and take your time. Accuracy being more important than speed.
There was also one question where you had to listen to an example then recall some of the information that was stated, but again it was pretty simple.

Good luck with it :)
I'm glad to be rid of the place but it seems an alright place for weekend/student work. :)

Thanks ;)
 
Thought i would update this:

I passed my phone interview (don't know how, i was so nervous!) and have been invited to a selection day with face-to-face interview on the 17th of March.

Has anybody got any experience of this and what i should expect? This is my first real job interview and don't know what to expect apart from the obvious questions.
 
I had a callback today to confirm the details of the selection day and the guy told me that the interview would mainly compromise of 3 questions:

Teamworking
Excellent Customer Service

And i forgot the 3rd question as i was in the car on my mobile phone so couldnt write it down :( Haly or anyone else who has recently done this, can you remember what the other question was that they asked you?

Im so nervous and angry at myself for forgetting what the guy said on the phone !
 
Yeah its ok, i'll just go over all the information i have and im sure i'll be able to answer it.

The selection day has actually been put forward to this Thursday so i'll keep you updated on how it went.

Thanks Haly :)
