A role of a Customer Service Agent
A Customer Service Representative works with clients who have complaints, orders, or require information about products/services purchased from the company. They also provide solutions that fit those individualized situations and prioritize the customers' needs at each step of the process.

I want this job mostly because it is WFH which is best for my situation at the moment and because I enjoy connecting to new people and making a positive difference to their day. I particularly find it rewarding when I provide them solution to their problems or complaints.
Strength & Weaknesses
What I consider as my strength is that I am a good listener. In our line of work, being a good listener is a must since we deal with customer's queries and complaints. We need to easily get what they are trying to say so we can provide the best solution. I am also a fast learner who can come up with my own techniques for work efficiency. And what I consider as my weakness is I overthink. In some situations, I doubt myself when provding solution to problems specially when dealing with customers. But in order for me to work on this, I seek guidance and advise to my superiors for clarity and confirmation.
Short & Long Term Goals
My short term goal is aligned to my long term goal. For the short term, my goal is to be an exemplary Customer Service Agent on the company and for long term is to be on a higher position with outstanding accomplishments.

I can say my greatest accomplishment is having good feedbacks from the customers. It shows that I'm an effecticve customer service agent and that I make an impact on their day. Being available to satisfy the customer is a boost to one self and to work harder.
How do you handle a stressful and demanding client?
Since I have been in the customer service industry for many years now, I can say that I have handled this kind of customers daily. What I do is to always show empathy and remind myself that this stressful and demanding customer is also me on somedays and I should always be patient with them. I always act professional and do what I am paid to do to solve the customer's needs.
How do you deal with pressure or stressful situations?
I realize stressful situation are always going to come up, and I definitely have had to learn how to navigate them throughout my career. For example, when working on a team work and things were not going according to plan, instead of pointing fingers, my first reaction is to take a step back and figure out some strategies to solve the problem at hand. Previously, I may have defaulted to panicking in that situation, so being calm and collected was definitely a step forward and helped me approach the situation with more clarity.
Do you prefer working independently or on a team?
I enjoy a blend of the two. I like having a team to strategize with, get diverse opinions from, and reach out to for feedback. But I am also comfortable taking on assignments that require me to work independently. I do some of my best work when I can focus alone in a quiet space, but I really value collaborating with my teammates to come up with the best ideas.
