Why this resume works

  1. Support metrics, clearly stated

    CSAT, first-contact resolution and handling time are the numbers support leads track, so they are easy to compare.

  2. Retention shows commercial value

    Keeping 70% of customers who called to cancel shows the role helps revenue as well as solving problems.

  3. Earlier jobs still count

    The retail job is kept short but stays on the page, because it shows customer-facing experience.

Tips, section by section

Profile
Two or three sentences: who you are, what you are strongest at and what you are looking for. For example:
Customer service representative with 3+ years of phone, chat and email support. Handles 60+ contacts a day at a 94% satisfaction score and resolves 85% of issues on first contact.
Experience
Most recent job first. Two to four bullets per job, each starting with a verb and ending with a result where you can.
Skills
Match the keywords in the job ad with skills you actually use. Six to ten skills are usually enough.
Education
With little experience you can put education first and add relevant courses or projects.

Tips for customer service representative resumes

  • List the tools you used (Zendesk, Salesforce, live chat). Many support teams filter for them.
  • If you worked in more than one language, say so in the headline. It is often the deciding factor.
