Just basic questions about your current job roles & responsibilities, some situation based, etc. There can't be anything technical as this role doesn't required any technical knowledge. Best for people coming for L1 support or BPO. If your coming from Production Support etc where you use Database or Scripting etc, don't come here. You lose all your skills.
