I have been working customer service
jobs my entire life. I ensure I maintain
emphasis on the highest quality of
customer service. Within the companies
I have been with, I have always been
utilized in different roles in the company. I
am trained and proficient in working with
sales, employee/business/consumer
accounts, and even taking escalations.
I've worked with multiple shifts to meet
business needs and goals. I interact with
customers on the daily, handling
complex issues, enduring and handling
high volume of customer calls in a fast-
paced environment. Minimum to no
supervision is needed when I'm assigned
any tasks. I have excellent listening
skills, oral and written communication
skills as well. I am comfortable
interacting with all levels of the
organization and the public. I am an
excellent problem solver and negotiator. I
am able to make quick decisions
independently and quickly with minimal
escalations. I know how to keep a
positive attitude in the work place and
always lead by example. I thrive in a fast-
paced environment that requires good
judgment, balancing business, and
customer needs. I have the experience
of working from home, which I'm able to
multi-task, minimum management, be
flexible, and manage my work. With all
my jobs, I have always build within the
company and was promoted to a higher
level. Unfortunately, with my last job
Momnt, the company downsized.
