In this article, we’ll explain how to describe customer service on a resume.

  1. Utilize action verbs when discussing your customer service experience you should use action verbs such as "assisted," "resolved," or "responded." These verbs suggest that you have actively been involved in customer service work and are able to show results.
  2. Include specific job duties and responsibilities: Be precise in your description of your customer service experience. Instead of telling the reader that you "worked in customer service," say "managed a team of customers service agents and handled customer complaints."

A wonderful team they have there at Rotorua resume - especially Tanya and Jaime. Tanya had made my super outdated resume look wonderful again and Jaime gave me an invaluable session and coaching on going for interviews. I highly recommend not only their resume writing services but also the interview coaching - especially for those who have been out of the workforce for a long time, it’ll definitely help one to be more confident and prepared for their next interview.
