Sample interview questions
How would you handle a Canvas user who cannot submit an assignment?

I would first confirm the user’s role, course, assignment availability dates, submission type, and any error messages. I would reproduce the issue where possible, guide the user through relevant checks, document the actions taken, and escalate to Tier 2 with clear evidence if the issue cannot be resolved at L1.

How do you communicate a technical limitation or negative outcome to a frustrated customer?

I acknowledge the impact, explain the limitation in clear and respectful language, and focus on the next available action. I provide realistic expectations, keep the customer updated, and ensure they know their issue is being actively managed.

What information should be included when escalating a support ticket to Tier 2?

The escalation should include the customer’s goal, exact symptoms and error messages, affected users and course details where appropriate, steps to reproduce, troubleshooting already completed, timestamps, screenshots or logs, and the business impact.

How do you prioritize multiple incoming support requests?

I prioritize based on urgency, user impact, service expectations, and whether an issue affects many users or a critical workflow. I communicate promptly with customers, work efficiently through resolvable cases, and escalate widespread or high-impact incidents quickly.

How would you use Spanish language skills in this support role?

I would communicate fluently and professionally with Spanish-speaking users in their preferred language, ensuring that troubleshooting instructions and updates are easy to understand. I would also keep accurate ticket documentation so teammates can continue the case effectively.
