I have over 5 years of experience working in a call center environment and over 10 years of experience in the customer service field. During this time, I have enjoyed being able to assist both business partners and customers with their concerns. Working in customer service field has taught me that each interaction is unique and you must be able to adapt quickly and listen carefully to provide the proper assistance for each situation. I believe the best way to achieve this is to be well organized and upbeat about the job you are performing. Being organized allows me to be sharp and focused in a fast paced and ever-changing environment. I love being able assist customers and business partners daily. If I am selected for this position, I will dedicate myself to learning new techniques that will only enhance my level of quality service that I strive to provide.
