Teleperformance Interview Questions for Freshers (with Sample Answers)
Teleperformance (TP) hires freshers in India for customer support in voice, chat and email processes. The interview checks how you speak, listen and handle a customer more than what you studied. This page covers how the rounds usually run, the questions freshers are asked, answers you can adapt, and what to carry. Rounds differ by city and process, so treat this as preparation, not a fixed script.

How the interview usually runs
Candidates commonly describe an HR round about you and your availability, a language or communication assessment (sometimes on a computer, sometimes speaking on a topic), a typing test for chat and email processes, and an operations round with a team manager. Walk-in drives often finish all rounds the same day.
Questions freshers are asked, and how to answer
Prepare short, true answers. Interviewers listen to how clearly you speak as much as to what you say.
| Question | How to answer |
|---|---|
| Tell me about yourself. | Name, education, one strength for customer work (patience, clear speech), languages you speak, why customer support. Under one minute. |
| Why Teleperformance? | A large customer-experience company with training for freshers and a path to team leader roles; you want to build a career in customer service. |
| Are you comfortable with night or rotational shifts? | Answer honestly. If yes, say so; if you have limits, state them and ask about cab facilities. |
| A customer is angry about a late refund. What will you do? | Listen without interrupting, apologise for the trouble, check the details, explain the next step and timeline, and confirm the customer is clear. |
| Sell me this pen (or this phone). | Ask what the customer needs first, then link one or two features to that need, and ask for the sale. |
| What do you know about customer service metrics? | Mention average handling time, first-call resolution and customer satisfaction (CSAT), and that quality matters as much as speed. |
| What are your strengths and weaknesses? | One strength with an example; one real weakness and what you are doing to improve it. |
| Why should we hire you? | Clear communication, patience, willingness to learn the process and to work the shifts the job needs. |
The language and typing round
Expect to read a paragraph aloud, speak on a simple topic for a minute, or answer listening questions. For chat and email processes there is usually a typing test. Practise reading English aloud daily, and a typing test online until your speed is steady.
