Here are my top three traits of an excellent call center representative (not necessarily in order):

Excellent phone voice, with good phone "smile."

Ability to put yourself in the customer's position and work from that perspective to obtain the best accommodations for them absed on their needs.

Ability to quickly adapt to situations such as sold out hotels, and cross-selling to alternate hotels with similar or lower rates close to the guest's desired location.

Currently at the threshold of my career with a seasoned office specialist with over fifteen years of professional experience with office management customer service and computer applications. I have been researching companies of interest that I feel would be a good fit for my professional interests.
I realize you will need to know a bit more about me in order to consider me as suitable candidate; for this portion, I am very good as a customer service representatives, have enclosed my résumé for your review as the first step in the application process. I trust you will find my early experience to be a strong indicator of what I would contribute as a skilled, hardworking member of your innovative Software Development team.

In my current position as Administrative Assistant with Winn Residential Management , a leading provider of advanced aerospace systems and components, I am greatly enjoying the challenges my dual role has to offer. In this unique position, I work collaboratively with a talented team of Property Managers, professionals in the development of living environment for the aerospace industry.

As an administrative assistant, I have learned a lot about residents living situations at all levels of the organization. My technical acumen and ability to diffuse the tensions of stressed end users has contributed to effective communication, problem analysis, and technical resolutions from common to complex in nature. Combined, I am confident I would be an asset to Innovative Software development team.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. I hope to speak with you soon.
