Juan Fernando Díaz – Customized

Interview Preparation Script

1. “Tell me about yourself” — Script

Version 1 (Standard, Customer Support roles):

“Sure. My name is Juan, and I have a little over four years of experience in customer
service and sales, mainly working for U.S. e-commerce companies in the auto parts
industry.
In my most recent role with Partsgeek LLC as a remote chat agent, I handled high-volume
customer inquiries, managed four chats at a time, and consistently met sales and accuracy
goals.

I’m very comfortable working in fast-paced environments, managing returns, warranties,

tracer claims, and helping customers find the right product. I’m also strong in
communication, problem-solving, and multitasking.

I’m now looking to bring that experience into a new environment where I can continue
growing — ideally in a company that values customer satisfaction and efficiency.”

Version 2 (If the role is Fintech and you have no fintech background):

“Of course. I’m Juan, and I’ve spent the past four years working in customer service and
sales for U.S. clients, mainly through chat support.
Even though my recent experience is in the auto parts e-commerce industry, the core of my
work has always involved accuracy, compliance, solving customer problems, and providing
clear explanations — all skills that translate very well into the fintech environment.

I’ve also worked in the banking sector as an apprentice, which gave me a strong foundation
in administrative and operational processes. I adapt quickly to new systems, I’m very
detail-oriented, and I enjoy learning new tools and procedures.

I’m excited for the opportunity to apply my customer support experience to the fintech field
and continue building my expertise.”

In my previous roles, I supported U.S. customers, managed multiple chats at once,
consistently met performance goals, and handled complex issues like returns, warranties,
and shipping problems with accuracy and empathy.

I’m adaptable and I learn quickly. Evento if this is not for a company that Works on the
same industry, I’m conviced I am able to translate my knowledge and experience from
previous roles and apply them on this new position without a problem
