- As the Credit Assistant I initiated legal action against delinquent customers and personally oversaw filing claims and representing the company as a designated agent by writing legal documents and attending any court proceedings. With minimal oversight, I kept delinquency within company standard by researching customers and their employers, skip tracing, and processing credit bureau reports. On top of these duties, I trained new employees, worked closely with department heads, and approved or denied credit applications by interviewing customers when necessary. I received excellent employee reviews and by recommendation was included in the Self-directed Credit Manager Trainee program. I also served as acting credit manager for three months from Oct-Dec of 2018, during which time I managed three collectors directly and assisted in managing the sales and warehouse teams to ensure coordination of all services from sales to operations and logistics.

Collector/Bookkeeper

- In this position I performed a variety of clerical and customer service tasks on top of meeting daily and monthly goals for collection call volume and collection results. I maintained the store’s daily bookkeeping needs and compiled that data into reports for store and corporate management. My time management skills and ability to be a good intermediary between sales, credit, and delivery departments kept customer complaints and scheduling errors to a minimum and I was promoted to Assistant Credit Manager during my second year with the company.

Customer Service Phone Agent

James Harvey - 229-***-**** EXT 1012
