Van Hook, PhD  \nCustomer Service Job Description  \nSimply put, the customer service worker (CSW) answers questions and solves problems. This requires solid listening and communication skills, and the ability to connect with customers through many different forms of media.  \nThe first and foremost job of the customer service worker is to interact with customers, clients, constituents, and so forth on behalf of a company or organization. They might provide information about products and services. They might also collect detail on a customer’s complaints and help resolve them. And they may also take ordersand handle returns or refunds.  \nThere are more than 2-million customer service jobs in the United States alone. Here are some different types of customer service jobs:  \n• Receptionist/Front Desk  \n• Salesperson  \n• Insurance Agent  \n• Data Entry/Order Clerk  \n• Repair Service Technicians  \n• Telemarketing Specialist  \n• Call Center Representative  \n• Counter & Rental Clerk  \n• Food Service  \n• Travel Professional  \n• Child Care Provider  \n• Security Guard  \nFeatured Customer Service Workplace  \nBest Buy  \nPlease spend 30 minutes visiting this website and pay special attention to these customer service features:  \nCommunity Forums / Twelpforce / Chat Now / Help Topics Listing  \nA typical job description for a customer service worker may include these specific duties:  \n• Listen and respond to customers’ needs and concerns;  \n• provide information about products and services ;  \n• take orders, determine charges, and oversee billing or payments ;  \n• review or make changes to customer accounts ;  \n• handle returns or complaints ;  \n• record details of customer contacts and actions taken ;  \n• research answers or solutions as needed ;  \n• refer customers to supervisors, managers, or others who can help.  \nCustomer service workers may work in a customer contact center using telephone, email and live chat connections; or they may be stationed at service desk providing face-to-face service to customers on site. The customer service workers may work from a manual that provides solutions and answers for most questions and problems. If a worker is unable to resolve the problem, she or he may turn to a team member or supervisor for assistance.  \nSome customer service workers may specialize in a single mode of communication such as telephone, email, or chat; or they may be assigned to communicate across several modes of communicating with customers. So workers need to have solid communication skills, as well as technical skills working with various communication technologies and software programs.  \nMost every type of business and service agency provides customer service or support, and workers may need to develop specialized knowledge in a particular field such as banking, public utilities, consumer electronics, computer software, etc. Customer service workers in a retail store often may help customers learn how to use a product, or handle a return for defective or unsatisfactory purchases.  \nThe Customer Service Workplace  \nCustomer service workers in a contact center may be placed at a workstation, outfitted with a telephone, headset, and computer. These call centers may be very busy, noisy, with non-stop stressful work. Workers in a retail store may be equally busy, dealing with a long line of customers. Whether in person, on the phone, or over the computer, the customers are frequently frustrated and upset, and often angry and challenging.  \nSupervisors will closely assess the performance of the customer service workers, to ensure they are working efficiently and accurately. The supervisors may listen in on telephone calls, monitor online communications, and review records of customer interactions.  \nMost customer service workers hold fulltime jobs, and must be prepared to work a variety of shifts as more companies provide 24-hour support service.
