I'm pleased with how I made achievements in my role. I was hired a part time entry level customer service adviser in an International Call Center. Being a beginner I answered the phone calls, of the easy customers and resolved queries.
I took the initiative and asked for additional work. That gave me the opportunity to prove myself, they increased my role to a full time adviser and I was promoted to senior customer service executive after eight months. After two years in that position, during which I worked on several successful projects, I was promoted to Subject Matter Expert. I handled difficult customers with their queries and concerns. I'm proud of my work there, I learned many things and enhanced my skills over time.

I took permission from my manager and removed the late payment charges, also took the payment online. And suggested payment methods to the customer.
As a result, at the end the call, he was a happy customer, he appreciated my efforts and agreed to go for direct debit as a payment mode for future bill payments.
