Employment
November 2012 – Present – Teleperformance, Virgin Media
As a Customer Service Advisor, I help customers with any questions or
queries they may have regarding their bills, packages or faults which they
may have with their services. I also upsell to customers for example look at
their package, what their useage may be with their telephone or broadband
and advise the customer that they could be on a much better package which
would lead to them paying more per month with their monthly rate, but less on
their bills each month. It is within my job role to make customers happy with
their package and to ensure that their customer experience is to their
satisfaction.

Prescriptions, and patients problems in general

had to wait to see the doctor and getting their repeat prescription for them

• Filing patients notes to the computer

me to keep their trust in the surgery.
• Guiding visitors in and out of the surgery before and after meetings
At the start of my time with Wellwynd I was also sent on a Receptionist Course

angry with you for any excuse and helped us learn how to maintain a nice nature
to them.
