The 7 numbers that carry this resume

Every customer experience & technical support bullet gets stronger with one of these. The benchmark tells you what's worth claiming; the question helps you dig your real number out.

CSAT75–85% is typical; claim it at 90%+ or 4.5+/5

What was your CSAT, and what was the team target? Beating target matters more than the raw number.

FCR (First Call Resolution)~70% average; highlight at 80%+

What share of issues did you resolve on the first contact, versus your team's average?

AHT (Average Handle Time)~6 min voice average; claim a reduction, not a raw time

Did your handle time beat the team average or drop over time? From what to what?

Quality score85–90% typical; claim 95%+ sustained

What did you score on call/ticket quality audits, over how many months?

Escalation ratelower is better; a reduction is the achievement

Did escalations or repeat contacts drop because of something you did? By how much?

Volume40+ contacts/day reads as high-volume

How many contacts a day, for how large a customer base or queue?

Rankingtop 5–10% of the team is a strong substitute for confidential KPIs

Where did you rank in your team or program? Rank works when exact numbers are confidential.

Bullet formulas

Structure first, wording second. Fill the brackets with your own numbers.

  1. Strong verb + what you did + how (tool/method) + quantified result.
  2. Weak: "Responsible for resolving customer issues." Strong: "Reduced average resolution time from 4 hours to 90 minutes by creating troubleshooting scripts adopted by the full 25-agent queue."
  3. No official numbers? Use rank, scale, or before/after: "top 5% of a 60-agent team", "108% of CSAT target".

Weak phrase → stronger pattern

handled calls/ticketsResolved [N]+ [calls/tickets] daily for [product], maintaining [KPI] against [target]

"Handled" is a duty. Volume + a KPI makes it an achievement.

provided supportDiagnosed and resolved [issue types] for [customer base], achieving [FCR%] first-call resolution

Name what you supported and how well — "provided support" says nothing a title doesn't.

answered callsResolved [N]+ inbound voice contacts daily with [CSAT%] satisfaction

Answering is the job; resolving at volume with a score is the achievement.

trained new hiresMentored [N] new hires to [100%] certification pass, [2 weeks] ahead of program average

Add the cohort size and the outcome — training without results is attendance.

solved customer issuesResolved [issue category] issues with [FCR%] first-contact resolution, cutting repeat contacts [N%]

Specify the issue class and the resolution metric.

maintained high satisfactionSustained [92%] CSAT against an [85%] target across [24] months

"High" is your opinion; the number against target is evidence.
