  • This video showcases a mock interview for a customer success manager role. It has behavioral, situational, and general questions that can help you get an idea of what a customer success interview might look like.
    Now my channel is all about product management, but given the high interest in my customer success video, I figured I should leverage my customer success connection and make a mock interview video. I find these videos are so helpful when preparing for upcoming interviews, so I hope you find it helpful!

    I’m currently transitioning into CSM role and I found this very helpful. Would be looking forward to more CS videos from this channel. Meanwhile, I’m saving this for future reference.

    Sam´s confidence when answering and not showing he is desperate for the job would make me hire him right away. Well done.

      And that’s because society teaches us confidence is indicative of talent. It’s not. Women often deal more strongly with imposter syndrome as a result of trauma - individual or systemic - no matter how talented. That’s more true for women of color.

    Watching this mock interview helped me to realize how much of this role I've already been doing! I'm a Product Owner looking to transition into something new and questioned if CSM was for me. My least favorite duty of my role is work break down with the engineers (breaking down stories and writing acceptance criteria). I feel like CSM could be a great transition for me since I have tons of experience with internal and external stakeholder communication and getting features/ work priorized. I'm going to use this video as a guide and go after some CSM roles and see where I land. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

    I have a call coming up to learn more about a CSM position - not technically an interview. What kinds of questions should I be asking to not only learn about the position but express my interest?

    Just off the first question there was a lot of Uhs and a very long answer. Is this okay for a 15 minute introduction interview with the recruiting manager

    Ive been a Team Lead at Target for 13 years do you think i can become an CSM if i apply? Or would i need some other type of job experience? Thank you for your help and your husbands help as well.

      @SokaynaIkkene 4 місяці тому

      Don't be afraid! Just apply, and I'm sure you'll land a job as a CSM. I can think of many transferable skills that you could mention during the interviews ! Good luck Chris!☺

    Sorry for the constructive criticism coming your way but this is just not the best example of how to perform in an interview. Three issues I see here that would keep someone from doing well in a CSM interview. A. Too many filler words and verbal pauses are SUPER distracting, try attending Toastmasters, it helps iron these communication issues out. B. The example stories don’t show sufficient depth of the thinking behind each action. C. The stories are quite shallow in terms of detail and wouldn’t pass at a desirable SaaS company as an IC, much less a manager - to rephrase, th ey sound made up which they very well may be.
    The goal and effort are commendable, but beyond the framework the actual answers to the questions don’t demonstrate a strong example.
