Common mistakes

  • No mention of ticket volume, resolution time, or satisfaction score - the core metrics this role is judged on
  • Listing tools (Zendesk, CRM) without the scale of tickets or customers supported
  • Missing evidence of handling escalations or difficult customers under pressure
  • Failing to show any process improvement contributed (macros, documentation, playbooks)
  • Treating the resume like a job description instead of a performance record
