Does the thought of having to write or update your customer service representative resume make you want to pull your hair out?

Before you do that, Iโ€™m here to help! Writing an effective resume isnโ€™t as challenging as it sounds. In my own experience, using aย resume templateย helped me craft a winning resume. Now, when I want to apply for a new position, I just update my resume template and send it to the hiring manager.

Easy as pie.

Letโ€™s go over what should be included in a customer service representative resume, plus learn a few tips and tricks to ensure your resume stands out from the rest.

My take:

5 Tips for Writing a Customer Service Rep Resume

3. Use stats to highlight your experience.

Stats are a fantastic way to show off your relevant skills and accomplishments. Including stats in your resume also gives recruiters a better understanding of your performance.

Matthew Warzel,ย CPRW and president ofย MJW Careers, says,ย โ€œStats and figures are resume gold for both accomplished professionals and new grads. They add credibility and instantly grab a recruiterโ€˜s attention. New grads can leverage this power by quantifying their academic achievements, course projects, and even volunteer or internship experiences. Highlight a GPA or Deanโ€™s List placement.โ€

Remember, a single impactful stat is more memorable than overloading your resume with numbers. So, even a small achievement quantified can make a big difference for a new grad.โ€

5. Your photo can make or break your chances.

In certain global job markets, a profile photo is a necessary addition to your resume. However, in the United States, our experts are conflicted about the addition of photos.

When I asked Space if he recommends including a photo on a resume, he flatly answered, โ€œNever.โ€ And Warzel agrees with him.

Warzel says, โ€œThis can harm your chances of passing the applicant tracking system (ATS), because the computer most often cannot parse data from photos, and thus, sometimes will kick you out of competition just because it couldn’t retrieve your data. Less is more!โ€
