How to write it
- High-volume roles are screened by ATS first. Mirror the posting's exact words: 'customer support' vs 'customer service' matters.
- Quantify: tickets per day, CSAT score, first-contact resolution rate, average handle time.
- Name the tools: Zendesk, Freshdesk, Intercom, Salesforce Service Cloud.
- Show one de-escalation or retention win. It is what interviewers ask about.

Do I need metrics if my company did not track them?
Estimate conservatively: tickets per shift, call volume, channels covered. Reasonable estimates beat blanks.
Should I include retail or food service jobs?
Yes, especially early career. Frame them around customer interaction volume and problem resolution.
How long should it be?
One page, always. These roles get hundreds of applications and screeners move fast.
