How many of you have customer service jobs? What is it like?

You can count food service, retail clerk and similar ideas.

Is it in person or a phone job?

What was your interview like? How long have you been in customer service

You can talk about a past job if you want.

I've only held them growing up. Sadly I don't have the patience for it. I'd never want to deal with the public in person these days ☹️

@sladejr what do you do now? where your old jobs, retail or phone support or other?

@robertsnj I am halfway retired but looking to go back. I was with a worldwide media aggregator for years doing tv transmission and production. We had a client service desk that did most of the client interaction.

I had some client contact but usually they'd be so overwhelmed looking at our set up they'd be on good behaviour.

As long as you seemed to know what you are doing you were fine. It was a great job but it became too easy to do it remotely so now most is done overseas
