What I'm looking for
My name is Jade Burton, and I am a friendly individual with a wealth of experience in customer service roles. I have developed strong communication skills and a good telephone manner while working in various positions, including for HMRC and the NHS Track and Trace campaign. My ability to work effectively as part of a team has allowed me to connect with people from different backgrounds and ages, enhancing my interpersonal skills.
Throughout my career, I have faced challenges, including periods of mental health struggles, but I have remained committed to personal growth. I have engaged in online courses to keep myself busy and continue learning. My diverse work history, from handling customer queries to making outbound calls for lead generation, has equipped me with a solid foundation in customer relations and sales. I am eager to leverage my skills in a new role that values teamwork and customer satisfaction.
