What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role that values teamwork and offers growth opportunities.

I'm Cody Blank, a customer service professional with extensive experience in handling sensitive inquiries and providing empathetic support. My journey began with Interaction Recruitment, where I honed my skills in a fast-paced environment, assisting clients with DWP benefit claims. I take pride in my ability to actively listen and respond to customer needs, ensuring they feel valued and understood.

Currently, I work with G4S, where I manage customer interactions related to Carers Allowance. My role requires me to navigate complex systems while maintaining a high level of organization and attention to detail. I thrive in team settings, supporting my colleagues and contributing to a positive work atmosphere. I am passionate about helping others and continuously seek opportunities to grow and develop my skills.
