7⟩ Share difficult situation you faced? How did you handle it?

During the last year something went wrong with the database system and without the information it was not possible to process caller's requests and complaints. It took the technical department two days to fix the problem. Those two days were particularly difficult since customers called in all day and I could not cater for their requests. I used an apologetic tone, apologized verbally for the inconvenience and called each and every one back once the system was restored.

12⟩ Is it unethical to provide callers with incorrect information regarding an employee's availability?

I do not think it is unethical. An employee may not want to take calls due to personal or professional reasons and it is up to us to comply with their orders. Telephone operators are not allowed to pass judgment on these things. There are times when a caller is deemed harmful to a company (for one reason or another) and it is perfectly justifiable not to forward his or her calls.
