What this interview covers
Interviewers for Technical Support Representative roles at Alorica Philippines typically test across 4 areas:
Philippine-specific tips for this role
- ▸ Candidates sometimes say 'I always work fast' but don't explain the how. Avoid generic answers; instead, give concrete techniques like shortcuts, checklists, or time-blocking.
- ▸ A Filipino candidate might say 'Okay lang po, sanay ako magpuyat' which sounds unprepared. Instead, show you have a realistic plan: 'I've researched sleep hygiene, I'll commit to a fixed sleep schedule even on days off, and I've already discussed the adjustment with my family to ensure support.'
- ▸ A common mistake is to skip straight to blaming the customer's device or asking 'na-try niyo na po ba i-restart?' without first listening. Instead, start with 'I understand how disruptive this must be. Let me check a few things and we'll get this sorted out.'
- ▸ Filipino candidates often over-apologize with 'sorry po, sir' which can sound unprofessional to US clients. Instead, say 'I understand why you're frustrated, and I'm here to make this right.'
