Tell me about a time you worked with a software vendor to fix a problem. How did you keep it moving?

Describe a Power BI dashboard or Excel report you built. Who used it and what decision did it support?
What they are checking: Whether their reporting led to real decisions, which matters more than how polished the visuals were.
How do you train users on a new system feature so they actually use it?

Tell me about a system improvement you recommended to senior leadership. How did you make the case?

What would you do
Agents report their schedules are not showing correctly in the WFM system. How do you troubleshoot it?

A system upgrade is scheduled, and the WFM team is worried it will break their reports. How do you plan the upgrade?

PTO requests are piling up and leaders say the system approves them inconsistently. What would you look into?

How do you decide which system issue to work on first when several users are asking for help at once?

About the work
Tell me about your experience administering NICE WFM, or IEX. What did you configure and maintain yourself?
What they are checking: Whether they have real admin depth in the system the role supports, not just end-user experience.
Walk me through how you would prepare the system for a Holiday build. What could go wrong?
What they are checking: Whether they understand the planning and testing a seasonal build needs so schedules are right before peak.
How would you use SQL to find a discrepancy between what the WFM system shows and what actually happened in the contact center?
What they are checking: Whether they can query and reconcile data themselves instead of relying on someone else to pull it.
