I am reliable, dedicated, and eternally upbeat. My ability to calm angry, or frustrated customers is unparalleled, and it is because of my excellence in this area that I was repeatedly asked to mentor new employees in the call center. I multitask effectively, and can handle a high-volume workload.
Of particular value to my manager I have a tram player mind-set, enthusiastic in embracing change, ability to work with minimum supervision and unwavering commitment to exceed customer expectations. I regularly received unsolicited praise from customers commending me for outstanding.
