FAQ
What should a customer support CV show first?
Show your channels, CRM or ticketing tools, volume, service quality, and complaint-handling ability. Recruiters need to see both communication skill and operational reliability.
Should I include customer satisfaction scores?
Yes, if they are accurate and recent. CSAT, first-contact resolution, ticket volume, SLA performance, and escalation reduction make support experience more credible.
Can this CV be used for English-speaking support roles?
Yes. Keep the CV in English when the vacancy is English, but include Dutch language level honestly because many Dutch support roles involve local customers or internal Dutch systems.
