Profile
Retail customer-service assistant seeking an email and telephone support role. Experienced in order enquiries, returns explanations and documenting unresolved cases for a supervisor. Focuses on accurate records and clear next steps.
Customer support skills
In-person and telephone enquiries; order lookup, returns guidance and escalation notes. Shared inbox and spreadsheet case log. English: fluent.
Experience
Customer Service Assistant | Example Retail Company | August 2024 to July 2026
Checked order references and dispatch notes before explaining the next step for delayed deliveries; avoided promising arrival dates that had not been confirmed.
Recorded the issue, previous contact and agreed follow-up in the case log so the next shift could continue the enquiry.
Referred disputed refund requests to the supervisor with the receipt details and customer explanation, without making unauthorized exceptions.
Relevant additional work
Returns information review | Internal team task | March 2026
Collected recurring questions for the supervisor and helped rewrite the desk checklist using the approved returns policy. The supervisor checked the final wording.
Education and training
Certificate in Business Administration | Example College | 2024
Show the case from question to next step
The delivery bullet explains what was checked and what the customer was told. It demonstrates a support process rather than making an unsupported claim about delighting every customer.
Describe a useful handoff
Recording the issue, previous contact and next step shows continuity between shifts. Name a CRM or ticketing system only if you actually used it; a spreadsheet log is valid experience when labelled accurately.
Stay within your authority
Escalating a disputed refund can demonstrate judgment. Do not claim you approved refunds, resolved every complaint or owned policy decisions if those belonged to a supervisor.
Limited experience or no measurable achievements?
- No formal support job? Use a real retail, hospitality, reception or volunteer example of clarifying requests and following up. Keep the setting and actual title visible.
- No satisfaction or response-time metrics? Describe how you verified information, logged a case or escalated an exception. Do not invent CSAT scores, ticket volumes or resolution rates.
- No CRM experience? State the tools you used and the tasks performed. An accurately described shared inbox or case log is better than listing software you have not used.
Before you submit
- Name the customer channels and enquiry types you have actually handled.
- Explain your checking, documentation and escalation steps.
- Separate support responsibilities from sales targets and approval authority.
- Remove customer names, order numbers and private complaint details.
- Verify language proficiency, dates and the employer's requested document format.
