Words worth mirroring from the posting
An applicant tracking system searches for the words the posting uses, and so does the recruiter filtering a long list of applications. A close synonym often will not match. These terms come up in customer service representatives postings and are not already in the skills list above, so they are the ones worth adding — in the posting’s own wording, and only where they are genuinely true of you.
- CSAT
- call center
- help desk
Certifications that stand out
- Zendesk certification
- Customer service / call-center training
