What makes this CV work

Hiring managers and ATS parsers look for the same signals. This example covers both.

✦

Channels named

Phone, email and live chat are listed explicitly, because ads specify channel mix and parsers match those exact words.

✦

Systems listed

Zendesk and Salesforce sit in the skills panel — helpdesk tooling is one of the most common hard filters in support hiring.

✦

Volume and quality

'60+ contacts a day' and quality reviews show both throughput and care, which is exactly the balance support managers screen for.

How to tailor it to the job ad

Paste the posting into CinnoVate and the ATS checker compares your CV against it.

1

Match the sector

Retail, telecoms, finance and healthcare support have different expectations — say which you have worked in near the top.

2

Name their helpdesk

If the ad says Zendesk, Freshdesk or Intercom and you have used it, make sure that exact word appears.

3

Give a measurable result

Response time, resolution rate, satisfaction score or complaint volume beats 'provided excellent customer service'.
