The mock phone call is awkward. You have to pretend the interviewer is a client. Its not a very good interview tool, especially when you consider a lot of the best customer service representatives utilize emotional ques to respond to clients(something that is not easily 'faked' for me). The fact that the interviewer seemed completely dis-interested in my earlier responses made the situation even more awkward for me. You also do not know exactly how the company would approve/disapprove of going above and beyond for the client, what the procedures would be, or how that particular interviewer feels is most important(sympathy with client vs. resolving the situation quickly and easily). All of those factors aren't things that actually help in a client situation because you want to work towards the specific client, not the company line.
