9. Conclusion
I am a highly motivated, proactive and hardworking individual with 15 years call centre and
customer service experience. I work extremely well under pressure and I firmly believe that
one should lead by example. I have strong leadership skills as well as the ability to motivate
staff to reach the prescribed targets and benchmarks. I am able to handle and deal with all
situations very professionally and willing to go the extra mile. I thrive on meeting deadlines
and assisting teams to achieve set targets and within business budget.
I am easily adaptable to change, punctual, extremely reliable and willing and open to all
learning. I thrive under pressure and especially deal with it in a constructive manner. I take
on any task as a challenge and an opportunity to learn and grow.
Working in such a dynamic Client Contact Centre at Woolworth’s offered me the opportunity
to live out my passion for people and their development and has also allowed me to apply
my skills of being assertive, precise and innovative in achieving my career objectives and
has allowed me to be both a good team player and leader within the client services industry.
I am accustomed to working in a highly pressurized environment where perfection to detail is
essential. I was responsible for a team as well as working extremely close with Management
and Department Heads from various areas in the business. I believe that sharing our
knowledge with others creates a learning environment and improves day to day working.
I was also blessed with an opportunity to serve my country as a volunteer at the FIFA World
Cup in 2010. I worked in spectator services where I ushered and interacted with international
guests to our beautiful country.
It was a truly awesome experience and I was so proud to be a South African representing
our fascinating and diverse nation.
I believe with my relative experience mentioned above, I have the capacity to perform the
fundamentals in line with your requirements.
Thank you for your consideration of my application.
Kind regards,
Candice Jansen
