What this interview covers
Interviewers for Customer Service Representative roles at AXA Philippines typically test across 4 areas:
Philippine-specific tips for this role
- ▸ Avoid saying 'gusto ko lang po ng trabaho' or 'malapit lang po sa bahay.' Interviewers want to hear that you chose this company specifically, not just any job. Replace convenience-based reasons with something you genuinely learned about the company.
- ▸ Many Filipino candidates jump straight to a sales pitch without connection, saying 'Sir, baka gusto niyo ng new plan, mas maganda to, mas maraming benefits.' Instead, build rapport first, then tie the suggestion to their specific need: 'Because you mentioned you want to secure your child's education, our new savings plan might be a great fit. Could I share a few details so you can see if it aligns with your goals?'
- ▸ A common mistake is over-apologizing with phrases like 'Sorry po ma'am, sorry po talaga' repeatedly, which can sound unconfident. Instead, acknowledge the emotion and move to action: 'I understand how concerning this must be, Ms. Reyes. Let me walk you through the exact steps to get your policy active again right now.'
- ▸ Candidates often say 'Di ko po talaga alam 'yan, bago lang ako.' Even if the term is unfamiliar, you can demonstrate curiosity: 'I understand bancassurance allows banks to offer insurance solutions conveniently to their clients. I'm very keen to learn AXA's specific processes so I can support our partners effectively.'
All 4 questions in this set
Why do you want to work here?
This question screens for genuine interest versus a candidate applying everywhere without preparation. Employers want to see you did some research and can connect it to your own motivations.
Imagine you are calling a client to remind them about an upcoming premium due date. During the call, they express interest in a savings plan they heard about from a family member. How would you handle this conversation?
Because the Customer Service Specialist role at AXA Philippines involves cross-selling and upselling during after-sales calls (as confirmed in the duties like outbound premium reminders and needs analysis), this scenario evaluates the candidate's ability to identify sales opportunities naturally, balance service with consultative selling, and handle the conversation without being aggressive.
Describe a situation where you had to handle a customer who was upset about a policy lapse or missed payment. How did you resolve it?
No verbatim questions are publicly documented for this exact role, but based on AXA Philippines' confirmed behavioral interviews and the role's after-sales servicing duties (such as policy delivery and premium reminder calls), this question assesses empathy, problem-solving, and the ability to handle emotionally charged scenarios that are common when dealing with lapsed insurance policies.
How would you explain bancassurance and its benefits to a bank partner who is unfamiliar with insurance products?
Since the role requires building relationships with bancassurance stakeholders and explaining products without jargon, this question (modeled after AXA's reported technical assessment components) assesses whether you can grasp basic industry concepts and communicate them clearly, even if you lack deep prior knowledge.
